The total distance of the [[Trans-Canada Highway|Trans&ndash;Canada Highway]] in [[Saskatchewan]] is {{convert|651.2|km|mi|1|lk=on}}.<REF name="Micro"/> The highway traverses through Saskatchewan from the western border with [[Alberta]], from [[Alberta Highway 1|Highway 1]], to [[Manitoba]] where it continues as [[Manitoba Highway 1|Highway 1, PTH 1]]. The Trans&ndash;Canada Highway Act was passed on [[December 10]],&nbsp;[[1949]]. The Saskatchewan segment was completed [[August 21]],&nbsp;[[1957]]. The speed limit along the majority of the route is 110&nbsp;kilometers per hour (70–[[mph]]) with urban area thoroughfares slowing to a speed of 90–100&nbsp;kilometers per hour (55–65&nbsp;mph). It is the main link between southern Saskatchewan's largest cities, and also serves as the province's main link to the neighboring provinces of [[Alberta]] (to the west) and [[Manitoba]] (to the east). Highway 1 serves as a major east-west transport route for commercial traffic. The four-lane divided highway passes through three major urban centers of Saskatchewan, [[Regina, Saskatchewan|Regina]], [[Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan|Moose Jaw]] and [[Swift Current, Saskatchewan|Swift Current]]. A site in the [[Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network]], an internationally acclaimed shorebird conservation strategy, is to the north of the Trans&ndash;Canada. Located southwest of the Trans–Canada is the [[Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park]], which features [[Fort Walsh]] and the highest elevation of Saskatchewan. Highway 1 traverses ranch lands, the [[Missouri Coteau]] topographical area, and rolling prairie agricultural plains. The highway generally runs west to east along the route, following parallel with the transcontinental [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] route. The Trans–Canada Highway traverses through historical settlement areas. The [[Transcontinental_railroad#Canada|transcontinental railroad]] of 1885 brought settlers to southern Saskatchewan. Commemorative historical sites along the [[Trans-Canada Highway|Trans–Canada Highway]] mark the historical changes of the 72 years since the [[Canadian Pacific Railway|CPR]] came through. ==Origins== [[Image:TransCanadaRegina-PilotButte.jpg|thumbnail|left|[[Dual carriageway|Divided highway (twinned)]] Sk Hwy 1 Regina &ndash; Pilot Butte]] The Minister of Mines and Resources held the first Federal-Provincial Conference regarding the Trans&ndash;Canada Highway in December, 1948.
