Provincial highways in Alberta
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 13, commonly referred to as Highway 13, is an east–west highway through central Alberta. It spans from Alder Flats, 7 km (4.3 mi) west of Highway 22, to the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. East of the City of Wetaskiwin, it generally parallels a Canadian Pacific rail line.
From the west, Highway 13 begins at Alder Flats and then intersects Highway 22. 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.
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.
