 In the late 1950s and 1960s, the highway was straightened and widened.During this process, the current Saskatchewan Highway 5 connected Humboldt and Saskatoon in a more direct west and east highway.The old place names of Warman, Aberdeen, Vonda, Prudhomme, Dana, Bruno, and Carmel located on Provincial Highway 5 were no longer place names along Saskatchewan Highway 5.
