Alberta Highway 15

Highway 15 is a highway in the Edmonton Region of Alberta, connecting northeast Edmonton to the City of Fort Saskatchewan and communities within Lamont County. It serves as an alternative to Highway 16 that bypasses Elk Island National Park; the highway follows the route of a railway line completed in 1905 by the Canadian Northern Railway. In Edmonton, the route is named Manning Drive, a developing freeway named after Ernest Manning, the premier of Alberta from 1943 to 1968.

Highway 15 is designated as a core route of Canada's National Highway System, between Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216) and the intersection with Highway 28A within Edmonton and is part of the Northeast Alberta Trade Corridor.
