Highway 901 is a 40-kilometre (25 mi) in southern Alberta, Canada that extends Highway 22X from Highway 24 to Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) near Gleichen.[2]
The highway has been receiving an increasing level of traffic, diverting vehicles from Highway 1 east of Gleichen.[3] Since at least the late 1980s, the current alignment of Highway 901 has been earmarked as a possible new route for the Trans-Canada itself in order to bypass the bulk of Calgary.[4]
