Highway 397 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 763 / Highway 665 at Allan to Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway) near Elstow. It is about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long.[1]
Route description
Hwy 397 begins in the town of Allan at the intersection between Hwy 763 (First Avenue) and Hwy 665 (Princess Street), heading west along First Avenue through downtown, concurrent (overlapped) with Hwy 763 westbound, as well as running parallel to Canadian National Railway‘s Watrous subdivision. Curving northward as it leaves Allan, the highway crosses a spur railway line before going through a long, gradual switchback as it travels past Nutrien‘s Allan Potash Mine, where Hwy 763 splits off and heads west towards Bradwell. Hwy 397 continues due northward through rural farmland for several travel along the western outskirts of Elstow, where it crosses Canadian Pacific Railway‘s Sutherland subdivision and comes to an end at an intersection with the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16), with the road continuing north as McConnel Road. The entire length of Hwy 397 is a paved, two-lane highway, lying entirely within the Rural Municipality of Blucher No. 343.[2]
