Alberta Provincial Highway No. 63, commonly referred to as Highway 63, is a 434-kilometre (270 mi) highway in northern Alberta, Canada that connects the Athabasca oil sands and Fort McMurray to Edmonton via Highway 28. Highway 63 begins near Radway where it splits from Highway 28, running north through the aspen parkland and farmland of north central Alberta. After the village of Boyle, it passes through the hamlet of Grassland and becomes divided west of Atmore where it again turns north, this time through heavy boreal forest and muskeg, particularly after Wandering River. Highway 63 serves as the main road through Fort McMurray where it crosses the Athabasca River before connecting the city to the Syncrude and Suncor Energy plants further north. It ends approximately 16 km (10 mi) beyond its second crossing of the Athabasca River northeast of Fort MacKay.
