The Alberta Highway 201 is located in the Canadian province of Alberta , he has a planned length of 101 km, of which 69 are already in operation. Part of the highway is part of the National Highway System , where it is run as a core route. Once completed, the highway will form a city ring around Alberta's largest city, Calgary , which is expected to be the case in the 2020s. Colloquially, the Highway Stoney Trail is called.

Routing

The current start of the highway is in the west of the city of Calgary, where it crosses the Trans-Canada Highway . Going clockwise, the route north of Calgary crosses Highway 2 , which leads to Edmonton. East of the city center it again crosses Alberta Highway 1 , which leads to Medicine Hat as the Trans-Canada Highway . This first 42 km long section is part of the National Highway System and is intended to serve as a bypass around Calgary. In the southeast of Calgary it meets Highway 22X , both highways run together to the west and then cross Highway 2. South of the city, the city ring ends so far.

expansion

The southwest and western parts of the ring are missing so far. The southwest section is already under construction. A special feature of this section is that, unlike the rest of the sections, it partially runs outside the urban area of ​​Calgary. This concerns a reservation of the Tsuut'ina Nation , a special contract was signed which provides for a land swap and further compensation. The southwest section is expected to be completed by 2021.
