Groat Road

About Groat Road

Located in the valley of the former Groat Creek. Groat Road is an Expressway in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. At a roundabout west of the University of Alberta, Edmonton's river valley road Saskatchewan Drive branches Groat Road to the north and heads down into the river valley. Here Groat Road crosses the North Saskatchewan River on Groat Bridge. It then winds through a gorge, formerly occupied by the now culverted Groat Creek, before reaching the flat plains at the top of the valley. The route ends, and becomes St. Albert Trail, at 118 Avenue (at a traffic circle with traffic lights). Because of their short lengths, Wayne Gretzky Drive and Groat Road will be the only freeways in Edmonton not to have a highway designation, until the completion of Terwillegar Drive. Groat road obtains the style of a freeway between 87 Avenue NW and 109 Avenue NW. It's fair to argue about whether it's an Expressway or an Arterial Road until it turns into St. Albert Trail.
