Highway 1 is southern Alberta 's primary east-west highway. It is 522 km (324 miles) long in Alberta. It is part of the Trans-Canada Highway system and spans from the Alberta- Saskatchewan border to the Alberta- British Columbia border. Almost the entire span of the highway is divided with a minimum of two lanes in each direction. MAJOR JUNCTIONS One major bottleneck exists in Calgary, where the highway becomes a congested urban arterial road (especially between Deerfoot Trail and 14th Street West and again on a short section around 45th Street West), and speed limits drop as low as 50 km/h (30 mph). While some road widening is underway, not until Stoney Trail is completed will a high-speed route exist across the city. PHOTO GALLERY |
