Strathcona County completed the final phase of construction along Wye Road in 2022, with some minor final deficiency repairs planned for spring/summer 2024.

The Wye Road Functional Planning Study recommends further improvements from Clover Bar Road to a future interchange at Highway 21. This is expected to happen in the long-term horizon (20+ years), once future development along that corridor occurs.

• New traffic signals at Nottingham Way and Estate Drive  
• Addition of crosswalks for safety and comfort at Nottingham Way 
• A more inviting area with green space, landscaping and lighting
