Provincial highways in Alberta
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 16A, commonly referred to as Highway 16A, is the designation of three alternate routes off Alberta Highway 16 (the Yellowhead highway) in Alberta, Canada. The Evansburg – Entwistle section is called 16A:08 by Alberta Transportation, while 16A:24 runs through Vegreville. The section west of Edmonton is labelled 16A:14 and 16A:16 on Alberta Transportation maps, but is better known as Parkland Highway and Stony Plain Road.
Highway 16A:08 parallels Highway 16 to the north, intersecting Highway 22, and passing through Evansburg, the Pembina River Provincial Park, and Entwistle.
Starting from the west end of Highway 16A:
Parkland Highway
Running for 35 km (22 mi), the Parkland Highway (Highway 16A) runs parallel to Highway 16, located 3.2 km (2.0 mi) to the north. The highway starts west of Stony Plain, Alberta near the hamlet of Carvel. Parkland Highway goes through the bedroom communities of Stony Plain, where it is a central thoroughfare, and Spruce Grove where it is the southern boundary. At Acheson it intersects with Highway 60. Highway 16A enters Edmonton along Stony Plain Road, splits into one-way streets where eastbound traffic follows 100 Avenue, before ending at Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216).
