Highway 48 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 1 at White City, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) east of Regina, to the Manitoba — Saskatchewan border, where it becomes Provincial Road 257. Highway 48 is about 238 kilometres (148 mi) long.[1]
This highway was known as Highway 16 until 1976. It was renumbered as Highway 48 when the Yellowhead Highway was designated as Highway 16 throughout the province.
The original Highway 48 was located in south-western Saskatchewan, travelling from the Willow Creek Border Crossing to Highway 13 at Govenlock.[2] The route was renumbered to Highway 348 in the 1960s[3] before becoming part of Highway 21 in the 1970s.[4]
