Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation is responsible for the construction, maintenance and operation of more than 26 000 km of provincial highways throughout Saskatchewan. This network, vast as it is, represents only a small component of the province's total road system.

The rural municipal road system, managed by local governments throughout the province covers nearly an additional 160 000 km. The people of Saskatchewan have made a huge investment in this transportation infrastructure. The total road and highway network is today valued at more than $7 billion.
