Provincial highways in Alberta
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 14, commonly referred to as Highway 14, is an east-west highway in central Alberta, Canada. It spans from the City of Edmonton to the Alberta – Saskatchewan border. It runs parallel to the more northern Highway 16.
Along with Saskatchewan Highway 40 (with which it connects at the boundary), it forms part of the Poundmaker Trail, named after Chief Poundmaker of the Cree.
Highway 14 begins in Edmonton as Whitemud Drive and at the Calgary Trail / Gateway Boulevard interchange, where it connects with Highway 2. It travels east for 9 km (5.6 mi) along Whitemud Drive until it reaches Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216, Edmonton's outer ring road) and turns south for 2 km (1.2 mi). The highway then turns east and crosses Highway 21 before the divided highway ends west of South Cooking Lake. The highway continues east towards east towards Tofield, where it then turns in a southeast direction, paralleling the main line of the Canadian National Railway, and passes through Ryley, Poe, Holden, and Bruce before intersecting with Highway 36 (Veterans Memorial Highway) in Viking. The highway continues through, Kinsella, Irma, and Fabyan before passing through Wainwright and intersecting with Highway 41 (Buffalo Trail). The highway then travels due east and intersects with Highway 17 before entering Saskatchewan.
