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:
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in old New York.”
—Bob Hilliard (1928–1971)
