Gateway Boulevard is a one-way major arterial in south Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is a major commuter route for communities south of Edmonton, such as Leduc.
Gateway Boulevard runs in a northbound direction, beginning at the City of Edmonton limits as Alberta Highway 2. It continues past South Edmonton Common as a two-way freeway separated by a median; for this portion, the roadway actually has two names, the southbound Calgary Trail, and northbound Gateway Boulevard. Near 31 Avenue, Calgary Trail and Gateway Boulevard separate and become one-way arterials. Highway 2 continues along Whitemud Drive west, while Gateway Boulevard continues towards the city centre. Calgary Trail (104 Street) and Gateway Boulevard continue to run parallel through Old Strathcona to Saskatchewan Drive, where they end.

Famous quotes containing the words gateway and/or boulevard:
“Antithesis is the narrow gateway through which error most prefers to worm its way towards truth.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
