Alberta Provincial Highway No. 570[2] is a highway in the province of Alberta, Canada. It runs east-west from Highway 10 within Town of Drumheller, 1.6 km (1.0 mi) east of the former hamlet of East Coulee, to the Saskatchewan border south Alsask, Saskatchewan.[3] Highway 570 continues east in Saskatchewan as an unnumbered highway for 1.1 km (0.7 mi) before ending at Saskatchewan Highway 44.

Highway 570 is considered part of the shortest route between Calgary and Saskatoon, with some digital map platforms recommending using it along with Highway 564 and Highway 848 through Alberta, as opposed Highway 9 which is part of Canada's National Highway System.[4] In spite a difference of approximately 25 km (15 mi) and bypassing the Drumheller townsite, the route is sparsely populated with no services.
