Several sections of Alberta Highway have been given the name Highway 2A. In general, these are original sections of Highway 2 , such as the southern portion of Macleod Trail in Calgary . They passed through communities before limited-access freeways were built to shorten driving distance, accommodate heavier volumes and to bypass city traffic. Thus, Highway 2A is a designated alternative route to the main highway.

Major sections include Barlow Trail within Calgary, and several stretches of 2A branching off the main road and accessing Okotoks , High River, Alberta , Red Deer, Alberta , Wetaskiwin , and numerous other major towns and cities.


REPAVING

A repaving project began in September 2006 to upgrade the entire stretch of Highway 2A.
