In 1968, a cloverleaf interchange was opened at the Highway 14X/14 junction as part of the Sherwood Park Freeway construction. In the early 1970s, Highway 14X and the north-south section of Highway 16A were divided with interchanges being opened at Highway 16 in 1971 and Baseline Road in 1975,[6] in conjunction with the province establishing a Restricted Development Area around Edmonton which included Highway 14X.[7] In 1996, Highway 16A was decommissioned and Highway 14X was extended north by renumbering to Highway 16,[8] extending the length of Highway 14X to 6.4 km (4.0 mi); however it was short-lived, as the city of Edmonton extended Whitemud Drive to Highway 14, located 3.4 km (2.1 mi) south of Sherwood Park Freeway. In 1999, Highway 14 was realigned to follow Whitemud Drive and as part of the Highway 14 realignment, Highway 14X was renumbered to Highway 216.[9]
