You can't trust Google maps in that area right now because of the ring road construction. Most of the signs I see send everyone to RR285 (100th St), but I haven't tried going north of McKnight.
Edit: from the Ring Road website

84 Street NE intersection permanently closes
Motorists are advised that the intersection of 84 Street NE and 16 Avenue NE will permanently close on May 3 at noon.
The permanent closure ensures the safe operation of the new Stoney Trail NE interchange at 16 Avenue NE.
Access options for 84 Street NE are as follows:
* To access northbound 84 Street NE from 16 Avenue NE, motorists will drive east to 100 Street NE (Range Road 285), north to 32 Avenue NE and then west to 84 Street NE.
* To access southbound 84 Street NE from 16 Avenue NE, drivers will go east to 100 Street (Range Road 285), south to 17 Avenue SE and then west onto 84 Street SE.
* Access to 84 Street NE between McKnight Boulevard NE and 16 Avenue NE will be available via 32 Avenue NE from 100 Street NE (Range Road 285) and the addition of a newly built service road connecting 84 Street NE to McKnight Boulevard NE on the south side.

Yeah, that talks about 16th, but the ring road is fubar'ing its way all the way up
So I guess the moral is you can't trust the maps up here right now.
