A series of improvements are being made to Saskatchewan's Highway Hotline including a new travel planning route locator for frequently travelled highways, as well as an updated version of the mobile website.
The new version of the mobile website will offer motorists a more convenient way to check highway conditions. When you go to www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline, the site recognizes you are on a smart phone or tablet and will automatically take you to the mobile version. It allows motorists to select interactive maps of Saskatchewan areas and click on specific highway segments for conditions.
A bulletin ribbon for notifications such as amber alerts has also been added and will appear during emergency situations.
The latest road condition updates are available on the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline. Recorded reports are also available by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon, the SaskTel cellular network at *ROAD, and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623.
The information for the Highway Hotline is compiled from observations made by ministry staff. Information is provided 24 hours a day. Service may be subject to rapidly changing weather, flooding, forest fires or other events. Motorists need to be alert to these possible changes and operate their vehicles in a safe and responsible manner based on the road conditions before them.
