Route description

"In Lamont County northwest of the town of Lamont,Highway 15 bends southeast and continues onward to Chipman and Mundare.[2]" - This topic sentence begins the route description with no context; I understand that you are saying that Highway 29 continues east along the same alignment as Highway 15, but without substantial highway knowledge, I would have been lost (even with it, it took me a while to grasp what was implied). Adding Highway 15's shield into the map would also be beneficial. There should also be a space before "Highway 15".
You use the proper noun "Highway 29" far too often. Consider switching to alternative pronouns throughout to create variation in the wording. "The route", "The highway", "it", etc.
link first use of "concurrently" to concurrency (road)
"Following the former alignment of Highway 860 for only 1.3 km" - needs reference
"Highways 29 and 36 continue concurrently north across the North Saskatchewan River through Duvernay on the south bank then the hamlet of Brosseau on the river's north bank. The bridge..." - The order of this is odd. Does it cross the river between these two towns or before it?
"They meet Highway 646 which continues east to" - There is almost always a comma preceding "which" and "however". Check for this throughout the article.
You mention where Highway 881 goes to (directionally), but not where it comes from.
Anything about the terrain, land use, forestry, conservation/recreation/provincial parks that you could add? Great detail on the routing, but is it through ranchland, foothills, forests, etc? What notable things are nearby or connected to the highway, aside from towns?

History

"Highway 29 was not designated until October 2006, but involved no new construction." - and, not but. "involving" works even better.
There's more "and then"'s (then's in general) in this paragraph than in "Dude, Where's My Car?" :)

Refs

Any official atlas' that you could use to bolster the Google Maps reference? I know this isn't a GA requirement, but it's worth looking into.

Any images to add? Check Flickr.

-- Overall very good; most of the issues are minor grammar fixes or repetitive wording. Good work! - Floydian ^τ _¢ 21:20, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the look, seeking refs/images; added shields to the map and addressing prose issues. -- Acefitt 08:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ping me when you're ready for me to take another look. No rush, I'm not on all that frequently. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 08:07, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Floydian: Aside from images (couldn't really find anything relevant and free) pretty much everything should be addressed. -- Acefitt 15:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pass - Article now meets the GA criteria. Images are encouraged if obtainable. - Floydian ^τ _¢ 01:53, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
