By car

Spruce Grove is west of Edmonton, take Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway) or Highway 16A. Highway 16 is a controlled access highway and passes along the northern city boundary, take exits 360 or 363.
From the west, both highways pass through Spruce Grove from Edson, Hinton, and eventually Jasper.

By bus

Edmonton Transit System offers three commuter transit routes into Spruce Grove from Edmonton on weekends, but only in early morning and afternoons (adult fare $6.25, April 2018).

You can use two of the Edmonton Transit System bus routes within Spruce Grove for $2.75 (April 2018). The city also has a network of trails for those opting to walk and bike.
It is advisable to bring a car, as public transport is sporadic (and only operates in weekdays and rush hours).

By car

The major roads around Spruce Grove mostly reflects the Dominion survey, with roads placed in regular intervals. Most major roads aside from Highway 16A or the Yellowhead Highway are four-lane roads, either divided or not. The downtown (City Centre) follows a rough grid, with streets slightly curved in line with Highway 16A and the Canadian National (CN) line through town. Roads in the majority of neighbourhoods are full of curves and dead ends, characteristic of suburban cities.
