This release was issued under a previous government.

Minor delays to traffic may occur while crews shift motorists onto the temporary detour. Please note dates are subject to change.

This is the second of four new access ramp detours in the Deerfoot Trail SE - Highway 22X interchange. Details for the remaining detours will be available once confirmed.

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 at 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.
