Highway 575 is the designation of an east-west highway in central Alberta, Canada. It runs from the Highway 791, through Acme and Carbon, to Highway 9 and Highway 56 in Drumheller.[1] [2] The section between Highway 837 and Drumheller is part of the Dinosaur Trail.
The section of Highway 575 between Acme and Carbon has had a variety of designations in its history. The 5km (03miles) section between Carbon and Highway 21, along with a portion of present-day Highway 836, was originally designated as part of Highway 26;[3] while the 20km (10miles) section between Highway 21 and Acme, along with present-day Highway 806, was the original alignment of Highway 21.[3] In 1958, the southern portion of Highway 21 was realigned to Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) east of Strathmore, and the former section was renumbered as Highway 21A;[4] [5] however, in 1962, the route was again renumbered to Highway 26.[6] [7] Highway 26 was decommissioned in 1970[8] [9] and in 1972, it was renumbered to its current designation.[10] [11]
