113/114 Street is a short arterial road in central Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is the only street connecting the University of Alberta's main and south campus. The recently constructed LRT now also does the same, traveling along the west side of 114 Street.

This street starts as 61 Avenue turns north and becomes 113 Street. 113 Street runs between South Campus (and the Neil Crawford Centre), and the Parkallen neighbourhood. The name changes to 114 Street when it jogs one block west at Belgravia Road (72 Avenue). 114 Street runs through the Belgravia and McKernan neighbourhoods. After crossing historic University Avenue and Whyte Avenue, it runs between a number of University buildings including the Jubilee Auditorium, and the University of Alberta Hospital. 140 metres (460 ft) past 87 Avenue the street becomes one-way (northbound) to the Education Car Park. Beyond this point, it is a bus-only street leading to University Station.

History

A roundabout was once located where 113 Street, 114 Street, Belgravia Road, and 72 Avenue converge. It was converted to a four-way intersection with traffic lights in the early 1990s.
