Looks like the improvements of SK-6/SK-9 had shrunk to passing lanes https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/transportation/highway-construction-projects/highway-6-and-39-corridor-improvements compared to the entire twinning of that corridor. https://web.archive.org/web/20180223152003/http://www.highways.gov.sk.ca/twinning6and39

Question regarding Ring Road in Regina:
Wikipedia says the TCH designation was moved to the new bypass. There are GSV images from May 2021 that still show TCH 1 reassurance signs (https://goo.gl/maps/MQGGwhdZjespK5eV8). What is correct for Ring Rd and also Victoria Ave?

Wikipedia is correct. The signage you spotted is just old remnant signage, which wasn't removed after TCH 1 was rerouted. Heck, last I was there, ancient TCH signage could still be found on city streets in downtown Regina, from before the TCH was rerouted from Albert St. and Victoria Ave. onto the Ring Rd.
This is confirmed by newer signage (which I photographed 11/1/2019, right after the Regina Bypass opened to traffic):
^ Eastbound TCH 1, confirming that the route follows the Bypass south of Regina, and that the Ring Road is no longer a numbered highway.
^ Westbound TCH 1, confirming that the route follows the Bypass, with Victoria Ave. no longer a numbered route.
BTW, the exit numbers are in reverse east-to-west order. The transportation ministry, for some strange reason, logs its west-east routes starting at the Manitoba border. Unless something has changed since the Regina Bypass opened, the Bypass is Saskatchewan's only exit-numbered freeway.

That's good, considering that this is the same province as Saskatoon.

Ontario's mileage logs always start from the eastern end of the highway as well. Obviously the exit numbers (with the exception of the 417) don't follow that standard however.
