Wye Road in Strathcona County, is a historic route from the early 1900s connecting Edmonton to Cooking Lake, parallel to a line of the Canadian National Railway,^[3] and it and Highway 630 used to be synonymous for their entire length.^[4] In the early 1990s, the portion of Highway 630 east of North Cooking Lake was realigned, resulting in Highway 630 entering Beaver County and passing through Lindbrook^[5] and subsequently paved,^[6] while the original gravel route is still designated as Wye Road and links with Highway 14 near Hastings Lake.^[7] The portion of Wye Road within Sherwood Park is maintained by Strathcona County and is not officially part of Highway 630.^[2][8]
