From Winfield the highway continues south for another 15 km to Hoadley where Highway 611 branches off to the east. 12 km further south it goes through Bluffton where Highway 607 branches off to the west.[1]

Highway 20 turns left and proceeds another 3 km before Highway 53 branches off to the west through Rimbey to Highway 22. The highway proceeds southeast for 22 km where Highway 771 branches off to the north. The highway meets Highway 12 just east of Bentley 2 km later.[1]
