Alberta Provincial Highway No. 13[1] is an east–west highway through central Alberta. It spans from Alder Flats, 7 km west of Highway 22, to the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.[2] East of the City of Wetaskiwin, it generally parallels a Canadian Pacific rail line.
Route description
From the west, Highway 13 starts at Alder Flats and then intersects Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail). It continues east, passing south of Buck Lake and Winfield before crossing Highway 20. The highway then passes south of Battle Lake, the headwaters of the Battle River, and then south of Pigeon Lake, passing through the hamlets of Westerose and Falun prior to intersecting Highway 2 (Queen Elizabeth II Highway), approximately 51 km (32 mi) south of Edmonton.[3][4]
East of Highway 2, Highway 13 enters the City of Wetaskiwin as 40 Avenue and then turns north along Highway 2A (56 Street). At the north side of Wetaskiwin, the highway turns east and passes north of Gwynne and through Bittern Lake. After crossing Highway 21, it enters the City of Camrose as 48 Avenue.[3]
East of Camrose, Highway 13 generally travels in a southeast direction, passing by Ohaton, Bawlf, Daysland and Strome before intersecting with Highway 36 (Veterans Memorial Highway) in Killam. The highway continues southeast passing by Sedgewick, Lougheed, Hardisty, Amisk and Hughenden before intersecting with Highway 41 (Buffalo Trail) north of Czar. The highway travels by Metiskow, through Provost, and by Hayter. Upon entering Saskatchewan, Highway 13 continues as Highway 14 to Saskatoon.[3][4]
