Edmonton Transportation
The Anthony Henday Freeway/ Drive
Edmonton has a freeway all the way around it called Anthony Henday. It circumnavigates the perimeter of the city- it’s a freeway so you can drive quickly in a circle all the way around the city avoiding other suburbs or the downtown core. It will be fully completed in 2012.
