Route description

Hwy 29 begins in the Rural Municipality of Buffalo No. 409 in the town of Wilkie at an intersection with Hwy 14, heading due north through neighbourhoods on the western side of town before travelling past Wilkie Regional Park and making a sharp right turn onto Second Avenue. After passing through a business district on the north side of town, the highway makes a sharp left onto Tenth Street E, heading north to cross a railroad and have a junction with Hwy 784. Leaving Wilkie, the road heads north, then northeast through rural areas of farmland for several kilometres, eventually entering the Rural Municipality of Battle River No. 438. After having an intersection with both Hwy 689 and Hwy 787, Hwy 29 winds its way through the northern portion of the Eagle Hills before travelling through a wooded area for a few kilometres to come to an end at an intersection with Hwy 40 (Poundmaker Trail), just across the Battle River from Battleford. The entire length of Hwy 29 is a paved, two-lane highway.^[5]
