I was thinking of cleaning up the Alberta Highway 2A article, such as replacing the multiple large infoboxes with small infoxboxes and inserting 1 large infoxbox at the top. I was thinking about the segments of Hwy 2A that exist between Calgary and Edmonton; currently it's divided into Crossfield – Bowden and Innisfail – Leduc as there is an 11 km (6.8 mi) gap between Bowden and Innisfail. Unlike Hwy 2/2A overlaps located south of Calgary and north of Lacombe, this is unsigned. Would you consider this as two separate segments (which would be continued to be listed as such), or considering that they are located closed together, an unsigned concurrency along Hwy 2? If it is the latter, could the Crossfield-Bowden and Innisfail-Leduc sections be merged into one and called Calgary-Edmonton Corridor (running between Crossfield and Leduc)?

Highway 2A follows the original alignment of the Calgary–Edmonton highway, correct? So presumably the 11km segment is the original alignment of the highway, and is worth noting. 117Avenue (talk) 22:22, 16 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Just driving Highway 2 from Airdrie to Edmonton. The highway between the two 2A interchanges north of Lacombe to south of Morningside is signed as both Highway 2 and Highway 2A. It is a concurrency. That is not the case however from Bowden to Innisfail. It is signed as only Highway 2. Further, Highway 2A ends at its intersection with Highway 587 in Bowden while Highway 2A in Innisfail begins at 50 Street (former Highway 54 alignment/Highway 590). In both cases, both segments of 2A end/begin west of and beyond the Hwy 2 interchanges. Also, Highway 2's current alignment skirting the east edge of Bowden is its original alignment. The original alignment, before it was twinned, did not deviate onto what is now Highway 2A until two miles south of the Highway 587 interchange. There is no concurrency of 2 and 2A between Bowden and Innisfail. Hwy43 (talk) 18:22, 21 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
