Provincial highways in Alberta

Alberta Provincial Highway No. 1, commonly referred to as Highway 1, is a major east-west highway in southern Alberta, Canada that forms a portion of the Trans-Canada Highway. It runs from the British Columbia border near Lake Louise to the Saskatchewan border east of Medicine Hat. It spans approximately 534 km (332 mi) from Alberta's border with British Columbia in the west to its border with Saskatchewan in the east. The route is divided expressway throughout the province (twinning of the final 8.5 km (5.3 mi) of Highway 1 between Lake Louise and the British Columbia border was completed by Parks Canada and opened to traffic on June 12, 2014), with a minimum of two lanes in each direction.

Highway 1 is designated as a core route in Canada's National Highway System

British Columbia Highway 1 becomes Alberta Highway 1 as it crosses Kicking Horse Pass into Alberta. It generally travels in a southeast direction along the Bow River through Banff National Park (Improvement District No. 9), passing by the Hamlet of Lake Louise and the Town of Banff. The segment of Highway 1 through the national park is maintained by the Government of Canada.
