Provincial highways in Alberta
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 10, commonly referred to as Highway 10, is a 22 km (14 mi) highway in southern Alberta, Canada that forms a part of Hoo Doo Trail. It is located wholly within the Town of Drumheller as a result of the former City of Drumheller's amalgamation with the Municipal District of Badlands No. 7 on January 1, 1998. It begins at Highway 9 in the heart of Drumheller and extends southeast along the Red Deer River where it passes through Rosedale, then crosses Highway 56 and travels through East Coulee. It ends by splitting off into Highways 570, 564, and 569.
Highway 10 is 22 km (14 mi) long. The route begins at a signalized intersection with Highway 9 in central Drumheller approximately 400 m (1,300 ft) south of the Red Deer River. Continuing as four-lane Railway Avenue southeast through the river valley concurrent with Highway 56 at a speed limit of 50 km/h (31 mph), the highway exits Drumheller. It becomes to a two-lane rural highway with a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph) as it passes the Drumheller Regional Landfill and jogs to within 100 m (330 ft) of the Red Deer River. The highway continues for another 4 km (2.5 mi) and enters Rosedale where the limit again reduces to 50 km/h. Just prior to crossing the Red Deer River, Highway 10X splits to the southwest from the combined Highway 10/56, paralleling the Rosebud River.
