Poundmaker Trail is a 361-kilometre (224 mi) interprovincial highway in Western Canada that runs from
Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of his people.[2]
The former alignment of Poundmaker Trail followed
Saskatchewan Highway 16A through Battleford and across the North Saskatchewan River along original Battlefords Bridge via Finlayson Island. Around 2003, in conjunction with the Battlefords Bridge being twinned along the Highway 4/16/40 corridor,[3] the original bridges were closed to motor vehicles, and Highway 16A was decommissioned.[4]
