This release was issued under a previous government.
Bridge girder installation will temporarily restrict the westbound lanes on Highway 22X just east of the Cranston Boulevard/McKenzie Lake Boulevard intersection. Eastbound and westbound traffic on Highway 22X will be reduced to a single lane in each direction. Minor stoppages of traffic on Highway 22X will occur only during bridge girder arrival. Traffic control personnel will be onsite.
The detour will be in effect from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Oct. 24, 25, and 26, weather permitting.
Motorists should use caution in this area and obey all signs, message boards, and flag people. Fines for speeding are doubled in construction zones when workers are present.
The Alberta government signed a 33-year agreement with Chinook Roads Partnership to design, build, operate and partially finance the southeast leg of the Stoney Trail ring road from its junction with 17 Avenue SE, south along the City of Calgary’s eastern limit, then west along Highway 22X to east of the Macleod Trail interchange. The new road will be fully open to traffic by the fall of 2013.
