Fort Road & Manning Drive
Fort Road and Manning Drive is a major arterial road in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is a major route in connecting Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan formed on the west side of the Canadian National Railway line that itself formerly connected the two cities. Fort Road formerly connected Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan in its entirety and was part of Alberta Highway 15; however the section north of 137 Avenue was bypassed and named Manning Drive. Fort Road gets its name for its connection to Fort Saskatchewan, while Manning Drive is after Ernest Manning, the premier of Alberta from 1943 to 1968.
