    Highway 305 begins at Highway 16 at the southeastern corner of the Langham town limits.[2] It travels east towards Dalmeny, where it turns south until it intersects Highway 684 and Highway 784. Highway 305 resumes traveling east, intersecting Highway 12 approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) north of Martensville. Highway 305 bypasses Warman, following the northern city boundary, and ends at Highway 11.[2] In 2019 an interchange with Highway 11 was opened, modifying traffic patterns around other existing intersections.[3]

    History

    Highway 305 was the original alignment of Highway 16, which at the time was designated as Provincial Highway 5.[4] At the time, the highway continued east from Warman, crossed the South Saskatchewan River via a ferry, and continued east to Aberdeen and Humboldt. By the mid-1950s, Highway 5 was rerouted to follow Highway 12 south and pass through Saskatoon, bypassing the Warman ferry.[5] In the 1960s, Highway 5 was realigned between Langham and Saskatoon, and the bypassed section was re-designated as Highway 305.[6] Until 2014, Highway 305 followed Central Street (Highway 784) through Warman and ended at Highway 11, until a new bypass was opened in 2014.[7]
