Highway system
	Provincial highways in Saskatchewan;

Highway 2 is a provincial highway in Saskatchewan, Canada. It is the longest highway in Saskatchewan at 809 kilometres (503 mi). The highway has a few divided sections, but it is mostly undivided. However, only about 18 kilometres (11 mi) of Highway 2 near Moose Jaw, 11 kilometres (7 mi) of the highway near Chamberlain, and 21 kilometres (13 mi) of the highway near Prince Albert are divided highways. Highway 2 is a major north–south route, beginning at the Canada–United States border at the Port of West Poplar River and Opheim, Montana customs checkpoints; Montana Highway 24 continues south. It passes through the major cities of Moose Jaw in the south and Prince Albert in the north. Highway 2 overlaps Highway 11 between the towns of Chamberlain and Findlater. This 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) section of road is a wrong-way concurrency. The highway ends at La Ronge, where it becomes Highway 102.

The highway started as a graded road in the 1920s which followed the grid lines of the early survey system and was maintained by early homesteaders of each rural municipality. Paving projects of the 1950s created all weather roads. Technological advances have paved the way for cost-effective methods of improvements to highway surfaces to meet the wear and tear of increased tourist and commercial highway traffic. The stretch of Highway 2 from Moose Jaw to Prince Albert was designated in 2005 as Veterans Memorial Highway. The designation coincided with Veterans Week 2005. The CanAm Highway comprises Saskatchewan Highways 35, 39, 6, 3, 2, and 102.
