What are Alberta's main roads?

Answer 1

The major or main roads of Alberta are the following:

• The "QE2" or Queen Elizabeth Highway 2 that runs between Edmonton and Calgary and goes through Red Deer about half-way. It also comes out north to Clyde (a little hamlet east of Westlock and around 100 miles north of Edmonton) all the way to Athabasca and onwards past Slave Lake west to Peace River, Sexsmith and other areas. Further south, after going through Calgary it runs south to the USA/Canada border between Alberta and Montana.
• Highway 63, which is the infamous highway running from east of Smokey Lake to Fort McMurray, and is the main highway to and from the Fort Mac oilsands. It's also notorious for being the most dangerous highway in all of Alberta--probably all of Canada as well.
• The Yellowhead (also known as Highway 16) which is a major highway from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan/Alberta all the way west to Jasper and through there into British Columbia. The Yellowhead is the main highway going through the city of Edmonton, along with the Whitemud and Anthony Henday highways.
• The TransCanada highway, which flows through Calgary from the southern part of Saskatchewan past Banff and Banff National Park into British Columbia.
• Highway 40 takes you all the way up to Grande Prairie.
• Highway 35 is a major highway taking you further north to High Level. It's the only highway in and out of that town and to La Crete.
