The Canadian province of Alberta has a provincial highway network consisting of over 31,400 kilometres (19,500 mi) of roads as of 2021-2022, of which 28,000 kilometres (17,000 mi) have been paved.[1]

All of Alberta's provincial highways are maintained by the Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors, a department of the Government of Alberta. The network includes two distinct series of numbered highways:

  • The 1–216 series (formerly known as primary highways), making up Alberta's core highway network—typically paved and with the highest traffic volume
  • The 500–986 series, providing more local and rural access, with a higher proportion of gravel surfaces

1–216 series

Alberta's 1 to 216 series of provincial highways are Alberta's main highways. They are numbered from 1 to 100, with the exception of the ring roads around Calgary and Edmonton, which are numbered 201 and 216 respectively. The numbers applied to these highways are derived from compounding the assigned numbers of the core north–south and east–west highways that intersect with the rings roads. In Calgary, Highway 201 is derived from the north-south Highway 2 and the east-west Highway 1. In Edmonton, Highway 216 is derived from the same north-south Highway 2 and the east-west Highway 16.

Within this series, all or portions of Highways 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 15, 16, 28, 28A, 35, 43, 49, 63, 201 and 216 are designated core routes of Canada's National Highway System (NHS).[2] Highway 28 from Highway 63 to Cold Lake is designated a NHS feeder route and Highway 58 between Rainbow Lake and Highway 88 is designated a NHS northern/remote route.[2]

Highways 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, and 43 are considered Alberta's most important interprovincial and international highways and are divided highways for much or all of their length. Speed limits are generally 110 km/h (68 mph) divided highways/freeways and 100 km/h (62 mph) on others. Segments of Highway 1 and Highway 16 through the national parks within Alberta's Rockies that can be 90 km/h (56 mph) or 70 km/h (43 mph).

The Highway 15/28A/28/63 corridor between Edmonton and Fort McMurray is considered one of Alberta's most important intraprovincial highways. It is vital to the oilsands operation.

Although only Highways 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 15, 16, 43, 60, 63, 100, 201, and 216 are twinned (expressways) for most of their length, the vast majority of Alberta's 1 to 216 series of highways are two-laned and paved. Only four highways within the series have segments that remained gravelled. These include segments of Highways 40, 58, and 68 and a short segment near the northern terminus of Highway 63.[3]

Highways 1 and 16 are Trans-Canada Highway routes and are signed with TCH shields, not standard provincial shields.

X series

[edit]

The roads in the X series are typically highways that are planned realignments or spurs of existing highways. The numbers applied to each highway in the X series are derived from the highway that is planned for realignment or spurred from (e.g. Highway 16X will be a realignment of Highway 16, and Highway 10X is spur from Highway 10).

900 series

Alberta's 500–986 series of provincial highways are generally considered local or rural highways. The 500–986 series of provincial highways is divided into three sub-series:

  • The 500/600 highways are east–west roads where the numbering increases northward from the Montana border to the Northwest Territories border.
  • The 700/800 highways are north–south roads where numbering increases eastward from the British Columbia border to the Saskatchewan border.
  • The 900 highways are newer or planned roads that have been established for future consideration as or as potential extensions or realignments of highways within the 1–216 series.

Some of these highways are paved, while others are entirely or partially gravel. Rural speed limits range from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 100 km/h (62 mph).

The list of Alberta provincial highways catalogs the numbered routes comprising the province's extensive road network, managed by the Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors, which spans more than 64,000 lane kilometres as of 2025. This network includes approximately 11,700 lane kilometres of divided highways and over 4,600 bridges and bridge-sized culverts, supporting connectivity across urban centers, rural areas, and key economic corridors. Alberta's provincial highways are classified into primary and secondary routes, with primary highways—identified by shield markers—serving long-distance travel between major communities, while secondary highways—marked by oval signs—connect smaller locales to the main system. The numbering system designates core routes from 1 to 216, encompassing major arterials like the Trans-Canada Highways 1 and 16 (marked with symbols), and a separate 500–986 series for resource and industrial roads. As one of Canada's largest highway systems, it facilitates trade, tourism, and resource extraction, with ongoing investments in twinning, paving (covering about 58,000 lane kilometres), and maintenance to handle high traffic volumes, such as over 50,000 vehicles daily on segments like the in . The list details each highway's route, length, endpoints, and surface type, reflecting the network's evolution since early provincial development.

Alberta Provincial Highway Network

Overview and Statistics

The Alberta provincial highway network encompasses approximately 31,400 km of roads, equivalent to more than 64,000 lane kilometres, making it one of the largest such systems in . Of this total length, approximately 29,000 km are paved (equivalent to ~58,000 lane kilometres), while the remaining portions are primarily gravel-surfaced routes in remote or low-traffic areas. This network is structured into primary highways, which form the core infrastructure linking major urban centers like and , as well as provincial borders and key trade corridors, and secondary highways that extend coverage to rural regions and smaller communities. Several primary routes integrate with Canada's National Highway System, including Highways 1 (), 2 (Queen Elizabeth II Highway), 3 (), 11, 16 (), and 43, enhancing national connectivity for freight and passenger movement. The system also includes over 4,800 bridges and structures, critical for navigating Alberta's diverse terrain of rivers, foothills, and prairies. The highways underpin Alberta's economy by enabling efficient transport for trade, tourism, and resource sectors such as oil sands extraction, agriculture, and forestry, connecting remote production sites to markets and supporting annual economic activity worth billions. Planned expansions since 2020 include the Highway 686 project, which will add an east-west corridor of approximately 220 km in northern Alberta to improve access for resource industries and communities; as of 2025, it remains in planning with design completion expected by late 2025.

Administration and Maintenance

The Alberta provincial highway network is administered by the Ministry of Transportation and Economic Corridors, which oversees planning, construction, operation, and regulation to ensure a safe and efficient system supporting economic and social connectivity. Formerly known as , the ministry manages approximately 31,400 kilometers of highways through regional districts and contracted service providers. Funding for the network is substantial, with Budget 2025 allocating $4.2 billion in capital investments over three years for roads and bridges, including $2.5 billion for major projects like ring roads and twinning, alongside $1.7 billion dedicated to capital maintenance and renewal of the existing infrastructure. Annual operating budgets support ongoing upkeep, such as $454.4 million in 2025-26 specifically for provincial maintenance. Maintenance standards are governed by established guidelines to preserve and functionality, including rigorous winter control measures like plowing and treatment to maintain bare pavement conditions on high-priority routes. Pavement rehabilitation involves periodic resurfacing and crack sealing on paved highways, while roads undergo regular grading and control to ensure drivability. audits are conducted systematically using formal procedures to identify and mitigate hazards in design, construction, and operations. The ministry fosters partnerships to enhance network efficiency, collaborating with municipalities on urban highway segments through funding programs like the Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program, which supports local road and bridge improvements. For federally designated routes such as the , coordination with the ensures shared maintenance and upgrade responsibilities, including calls for increased federal contributions to high-traffic corridors. Post-2020 safety initiatives emphasize risk reduction through infrastructure enhancements, including divided highway expansions via twinning projects on routes like Highway 3 from Taber to Burdett and Highway 40 near , aimed at minimizing head-on collisions. Wildlife crossings have also been implemented, such as overpasses along the in the Bow Valley, integrated with fencing to guide animals safely and reduce vehicle collisions. These measures reflect a proactive approach to addressing collision data and environmental impacts.

Primary Highways (1–216 Series)

Core Routes (1–100)

The core routes of Alberta's primary , numbered 1 to 100, form the foundational intercity and international border-connecting arteries that facilitate trade, tourism, and daily mobility across the province. These highways prioritize high-volume traffic between major urban centers, natural gateways, and neighboring jurisdictions, integrating with Canada's National Highway System to support economic corridors like the Trans-Canada, CANAMEX, and North-South Trade Corridor. They emphasize divided configurations for safety and efficiency, with most segments paved and designed for long-haul travel, though select routes incorporate scenic or recreational elements in rugged terrain. Key examples include Highway 1, the segment from the Alberta-Saskatchewan border east of to the Alberta- border west of Lake Louise, spanning approximately 534 km and serving as a vital east-west link to Pacific ports; its Calgary-to-Banff portion measures 127 km and is fully divided to accommodate heavy tourist and commercial traffic through the . Highway 2, known as the Queen Elizabeth II Highway in its central section, extends north-south from the U.S. border near through and to , totaling 1,273 km and acting as the spine of the North-South Trade Corridor with mostly divided lanes posted at 110 km/h to handle over 180,000 vehicles daily in peak areas. Highway 3, the , traverses approximately 324 km in Alberta from the junction with Highway 1 near through to the border at , connecting southern agricultural and industrial hubs to western trade routes. Highway 16, the and northern Trans-Canada route, covers approximately 634 km from the border at through to the border west of , enabling access to northern resource economies and coastal ports. Highway 43 links Edmonton-area communities to and extends to the border near , forming the northwest leg of the for freight and energy sector transport.
HighwayRoute SummaryLength (km)Key Features
1 (Trans-Canada) area to B.C. border via and Banff534Fully divided in urban/mountain sections; to port; 110 km/h limits.
2 (Queen Elizabeth II)U.S. border to via and 1,273Mostly divided freeway; highest traffic volumes in province; 110 km/h rural speeds.
3 (Crowsnest)Junction with Highway 1 near to B.C. border via 324Twinning ongoing for safety; links to southern trade; 100-110 km/h.
16 (Yellowhead) to B.C. border via and 634Divided rural segments; northern Trans-Canada access; 110 km/h.
43Near to B.C. border via ~495Part of CANAMEX; twinned sections improving; 100 km/h typical.
These routes generally feature speed limits of 100-110 km/h on divided sections, reflecting their design for high-speed, high-capacity travel, though limits drop in urban or construction zones. Most are fully paved asphalt, but exceptions like Highway 40 in include approximately 105 km of gravel surfaces to preserve scenic and recreational access through protected areas, with seasonal closures for winter maintenance. The numbering system shows gaps, such as the absence of Highways 30, 34, and 46, resulting from historical decommissioning of redundant or low-use alignments in favor of consolidated routes. Recent developments include ongoing twinning and widening projects on these core routes, such as on Highways 2 and 43, continue to prioritize and capacity amid rising freight and commuter demands.

Ring Roads and Urban Connectors (200 Series)

The 200 series of Alberta provincial highways consists exclusively of two ring roads designed as urban bypasses around the province's largest cities, and . These routes are part of the primary highway network and serve to alleviate congestion on core radial highways by providing circumferential access for local and through traffic. Unlike the longer-haul 1–100 series routes, the 200 series focuses on high-capacity, divided freeways that facilitate efficient movement around urban areas while integrating with major provincial connectors such as Highways 2 and 16. Highway 201, officially named (and Tsuut'ina Trail on certain sections), forms a 101-kilometre freeway that encircles , providing a key bypass for the city's growing . Completed with the opening of its final west leg on , 2023, the route is fully divided and operates as a free-flow freeway with multiple interchanges connecting to arterial roads and core highways. Its primary purpose is to reduce urban congestion, enhance economic connectivity by supporting goods movement, and improve access to like hospitals and workplaces, handling high traffic volumes that reached nearly 79,000 vehicles per day at peak points in 2019. Speed limits on Highway 201 generally range from 100 to 110 km/h, reflecting its role as a high-speed urban connector. Highway 216, known as , is an 80-kilometre divided freeway that rings , with the full loop opened to traffic in October 2016 following phased construction that began in the . Recent widening of the southwest section to six lanes, completed in late 2023, increased its capacity to handle up to 120,000 vehicles per day, accommodating average daily volumes of around in 2020. This route relieves pressure on inbound radial highways, promotes regional economic , and features grade-separated interchanges for seamless integration with surrounding arterials. Like Highway 201, its speed limits are typically 100 to 110 km/h, emphasizing safety and efficiency for high-volume urban travel.

Spur and Bypass Routes (X Series)

The X series designations within Alberta's primary (1–216 series) are used for temporary spurs, bypasses, and realignments of existing core routes, facilitating construction phasing, traffic diversion, or future integrations without disrupting permanent numbering. These routes are typically short, ranging from 5 to 30 km, and are paved where active, often serving as truck routes or connectors to alleviate congestion on parent highways like Highway 1 or 3. Upon completion of their purpose, many X series highways are decommissioned, renumbered, or absorbed into the mainline route. Introduced in the to manage phased infrastructure projects, the X series allows Transportation to designate interim alignments while maintaining network continuity. For instance, 16X was a 36 km east-west in the , established in the but renumbered to 16 in 1997 after serving its role in route realignment, effectively decommissioning the X designation. Similarly, 1X operates as a short connector , linking 1 to 1A approximately 7 km east of Exshaw in the Bow Valley, providing access near while classified as a local rural . Highway 3X exemplifies ongoing use for bypass planning, designated as a gazetted truck route and realignment south of Coleman along the Crowsnest Highway corridor, spanning about 14 km to divert heavy commercial traffic from the existing two-lane Highway 3 through Blairmore and improve safety. Functional planning studies since the early 2000s have refined this route, with detailed engineering design advancing as of 2024 to support twinning and freeway standards. Proposed X series routes continue this pattern; for example, the Strathmore bypass on Highway 1, under functional planning study as of 2025, is evaluated for potential X designation to realign traffic east of Calgary, addressing growth in the region. Another emerging example is Highway 40X, a planned connector between Highways 40 and 43 in the Grande Prairie area, aimed at enhancing regional access for resource transport. These designations underscore the X series' role in adaptive infrastructure, prioritizing efficiency during transitions to permanent configurations.

Secondary Highways (500–986 Series)

East-West Routes (500–600 Series)

The 500–600 series highways form the east-west component of Alberta's , providing transverse rural links across central and southern regions of the . These routes are numbered to increase northward from the U.S. border, facilitating connections between primary highways and serving agricultural communities, small towns, and resource areas with lower traffic volumes compared to the core 1–216 series. Administration falls under , with maintenance emphasizing seasonal surfacing and periodic paving upgrades to support speeds of 80–100 km/h where conditions allow. Overall, about 40% of the series is paved, with the remainder , reflecting their focus on cost-effective rural access rather than high-capacity travel. Within the 500 series, Highway 501 extends approximately 300 km from Highway 5 east of Mountain View to Highway 41 near Wrentham, predominantly gravel-surfaced to accommodate agricultural traffic and local connectivity in the prairie landscape. Highway 502 serves as a short rural connector near Hanna, linking secondary roads in the east-central region to support farming operations and small-scale commerce. Highway 503 covers 18 km from Highway 5 east of Cardston to Highway 820 near Woolford, providing paved access in southern Alberta. Note that listings for Highways 510–519 remain incomplete due to historical mergers and renumbering under Alberta Transportation's network rationalization efforts. The 600 series extends this east-west pattern into more northern latitudes, with shorter segments emphasizing local access. Highway 601 is a brief local route near , providing urban fringe connections for residential and industrial areas. Highway 602 runs 28 km from Highway 36 in to Highway 872 north of Brownfield, offering access in east-central . Farther north, Highway 686 represents a significant recent development, undergoing planning for a 218 km extension, scheduled for 2025-2029, connecting Peerless Lake to and enhancing emergency egress and economic links for northern communities like and Peerless Lake. These routes collectively underscore the secondary network's role in sustaining 's rural economy, with ongoing investments addressing gravel maintenance and . As of 2025, investments include ongoing paving of select 500-series segments and environmental reviews for northern extensions.

North-South Routes (700–800 Series)

The 700–800 series comprises secondary highways oriented north-south, primarily traversing western and northern Alberta to provide essential access to forested regions, provincial parks, and resource development areas such as and operations. These routes form a vital component of Alberta's rural transportation network, linking remote communities and natural sites while intersecting briefly with east-west corridors in the 500–600 series for regional connectivity. Unlike primary highways, they feature a higher proportion of surfaces—approximately 60%—necessitating lower posted speeds of 70–90 km/h to accommodate variable road conditions and seasonal weather impacts. Within the 700 series, Highway 734, part of the Forestry Trunk Road, spans 99 km of predominantly gravel surface leading to the Bighorn region and supporting timber harvesting activities. Adjacent to this, Highway 735 extends about 30 km from Highway 2 in Whitelaw to Highway 685, offering localized access in north-central . Further north, Highway 750 covers approximately 100 km toward , serving as a key link for energy sector logistics and entry to Willmore . The 800 series focuses on southern and central segments with enhanced recreational emphasis. Highway 816 provides around 50 km of access to , enabling visitors to reach trailheads and campgrounds amid the Rocky Mountain foothills. Highway 822 operates in the Longview vicinity with combined segments totaling over 80 km, connecting agricultural communities and ranchlands along the Cowboy Trail corridor. Highway 840 directs travelers to Lundbreck Falls via segments including 41 km and 80 km routes, promoting tourism to the waterfalls and provincial recreation areas. Highway 850, a 40 km paved extension, connects to , prioritizing safe, all-season access for park-bound traffic and cross-border visitors. Safety enhancements on these routes have included post-2020 twinning of select segments on Highway 734, aimed at reducing collision risks in forested, high-volume areas through widened lanes and improved alignment.

Planned and Emerging Routes (900 Series)

The 900 series highways in Alberta's provincial network are designated for secondary roads that the Minister of Transportation may order to be under provincial direction, control, and management, often encompassing planned realignments, extensions, or new alignments to address connectivity gaps in rural and remote areas. These routes are typically conceptual or in early development stages, focusing on future upgrades rather than immediate construction. Highway 901 is an existing 82 km east-west route in eastern , running parallel to Highway 1 from near Strathmore to near Gleichen. Meanwhile, Highway 986 functions as a northern route spanning approximately 158 km, linking remote communities and resource sites in the Northwest to broader secondary highways like 686. Emerging developments include extensions such as the planning for Highway 686, featuring a new 218 km east-west corridor from Peerless Lake to the area, enhancing access to Indigenous communities and boreal resource zones. Overall, these planned routes total around 500 km in projected length by 2030, primarily under construction or environmental review. The rationale for these 900 series initiatives stems from Alberta's of approximately 14% since 2020 (from 4.37 million to 5 million as of 2025)—driven by interprovincial migration and economic recovery—and expanding resource development in and forestry sectors, necessitating improved northern and rural linkages. Challenges include prolonged environmental assessments for boreal ecosystems and funding delays amid competing priorities, which have shifted some timelines beyond initial targets.
