    Route description

    Highway 342 begins in the Rural Municipality of Snipe Lake No. 259 just immediately to the south of the hamlet of Plato at an intersection with Highway 44, with the road continuing north into Plato as Range Road 3183. It heads south across slightly hilly terrain to enter the Rural Municipality of Lacadena No. 228, where it makes an abrupt sharp left to travel through the hamlet of Tyner before turning back south via sharp right a couple kilometres later. After having an intersection with Highway 647, it travels along the eastern side of the hamlet of Lacadena, where it crosses a former railway line, before curving eastward as it climbs some hills. Continuing through rural hilly terrain, the highway goes through a switchback as it passes through the hamlet of White Bear, crossing several small streams on its way to cross the Big Sky Rail Matador subdivision and Highway 4 a couple kilometres north of the town of Kyle. Now entering the Coteau Hills, Highway 342 meanders its way through the hilly terrain, passing by Clearwater Lake Regional Park and entering the Rural Municipality of Victory No. 226. After traversing the range for a few more kilometres, it lowers in elevation as it leaves the hills behind and traverses flat farmland, curving northward to pass through the village of Beechy,[2] where it has an intersection with Highway 737 (Railway Avenue) and passes by the end of Big Sky Rail's Conquest subdivision. Continuing north, the highway goes through a switchback on its way to come to an end at the intersection with Highway 42. The entire length of Highway 342 is a paved, two-lane highway.[3]
