Alberta Provincial Highway No. 806, commonly referred to as Highway 806, is a north - south highway in central Alberta, Canada. It runs from the Highway 9 / Highway 72 junction in the Village of Beiseker, through the Villages of Acme and Linden, to Highway 583 located west of the Town of Three Hills.[1]
The 13km (08miles) section of Highway 806 between Beiseker and Acme has had multiple designations in its history. Along with a portion of Highway 575, the route was originally designated as part of Highway 21.[2] 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.[3] [4] However, in 1962 the route was again renumbered to Highway 26, as at the time it connected the Village of Carbon Highway 9 and Highway 21.[5] [6] Highway 26 was decommissioned in 1970[7] [8] and in 1972, it was renumbered to its current designation.[9] [10]
