Highway 24 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It runs from Highway 3 at Spiritwood north to the community of Chitek Lake on Chitek Lake. Highway 24 is about 56 kilometres (35 mi) long.[1]
In April 2014, due to its state of disrepair, Highway 24 was named the worst highway in Saskatchewan by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA).[2] In 2021, repairs began on the highway as part of a plan to stimulate the local economy. A total of 50 kilometres (31 mi) were rebuilt.[3]
