. Currently highway 19 has become a case study for The Saskatchewan Center for Excellence in Transportation and Infrastructure. SCETI is currently working on further defining the SHELL curves for the low lying Sub base sections. Due to the high clay content and the poor application of the culvert systems in the area, this case study will be able to address the issues currently ailing the road. The case study will conclude in the fall on 2012.

History

9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) paving project on Highway 19 north of Chaplin was announced June 8, 1999.
9.7 kilometres (6 mi) resurfacing project started July 7, 2000 at the junction of Highway 15 and continues south. This area is west of Kenaston and will assist tourism traffic to Lake Diefenbaker resorts. The 19.3 kilometres (12 mi) area south of the Highway 15 junction to Stronfield was used for a test section to develop a framework for highway management. This area has an increase in truck traffic from the potato industry, as well as increase in grain hauling to the Loreburn inland grain terminal. average annual daily traffic AADT was 500 vehicles, of these 11% is due to commercial ventures. Besides economic interest recreations sites are in the area.
Construction issues on Highway 19 involve a silty to heavy clay soil type in a rural area with a traffic load of full loaded trucks and semi trailers. 8000 kilometres (4,971 mi) of road experienced rutting and pavement failure prior to 2003.
27 highway improvement projects include granular spot improvements north of Chaplin for 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) on Highway 19 Experimental strengthening techniques were undertaken which used a rotomix of the existing asphalt oil surface and mulched flax straw. This procedure underwent a series of tests examining whether an increase of the subgrade tensile strength occurred. This experiment was undertaken 100 kilometres (62.1 mi) south of Saskatoon for three test sections of provincial Highway 19 near Strongfield
