Alberta Provincial Highway No. 28A[1] is the designation of an alternate route off Highway 28 between Edmonton and the Town of Gibbons. It runs south-north, parallel to Highway 28, from Highway 15 (Manning Drive) in Edmonton to Highway 28 north of Gibbons, and is numbered 17 Street NE within Edmonton. The highway is designated as a "core route" of Canada's National Highway System for its entire length as it is part of the Edmonton-Fort McMurray corridor.[2]
Another 46 km (29 mi) section formerly existed between Ashmont and Hoselaw as a bypass of St. Paul and as a shorter route to Cold Lake. This section was redesignated Highway 28 in 2006, when Highway 28 through St. Paul was redesignated Highway 29.
