Alberta Highway 22X
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 22X is an east-west highway in Alberta, Canada. It is a spur of Highway 22, a north-south highway.
Highway 22X goes from the junction of Highway 24 and Highway 901, westerly to the junction of Highway 22 just east of Priddis over a distance of about 54 km (34 mi). The highway passes through southern Calgary, where it becomes Marquis of Lorne Trail ( /mɑrˈkiː/; sometimes referred to by the French variant "Marquis de Lorne Trail"), and over Highway 2 (Deerfoot Trail within Calgary). When the highway crosses Macleod Trail (Highway 2A), it changes its name to Spruce Meadows Trail, after the show jumping facility of the same name that it passes. About 10 km (6.2 mi) after it exits the west end of the city, the 22X ends at Highway 22 just east of the Hamlet of Priddis.

Famous quotes containing the word highway:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
