If you're okay with a stretch of dirt roads (about 15 minutes), the best bypass for Drumheller I've taken is taking Country Hills Boulevard (Hwy 564) out of Calgary, following it all the way to the end of the pavement, going North a bit to Hwy 848, and it pops you right onto Highway 570. They recently repaved 570 going East from Drumheller and removed almost all the 4-way stops, so it's a great 100km/h road now. (Haven't ever seen a police car on it either, so you can make up even more time if you'd like)

You take that all the way to Oyen, and there is quite literally no traffic on 570, so you save a ton of time. From Oyen you hop up to Highway 9/7 and follow saskflames96's directions.
