Poundmaker Trail is a Template:Convert interprovincial highway in Western Canada that runs from Edmonton, Alberta, to North Battleford, Saskatchewan, following Alberta Highway 14 and Saskatchewan Highway 40.[1] The highway is named after Poundmaker (Template:Circa 1842–July 4, 1886), also known as Pitikwahanapiwiyin, a Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of his people.[2]
The former alignment of Poundmaker Trail followed Saskatchewan Highway 16A through Battleford and across the North Saskatchewan River along original Battlefords Bridge via Finlayson Island. Around 2003, in conjunction with the Battlefords Bridge being twinned along the Highway 4/16/40 corridor,[3] the original bridges were closed to motor vehicles, and Highway 16A was decommissioned.[4]
