This release was issued under a previous government.

p>The eastbound lane on Glenmore Trail SE east of 68 Street SE will be temporarily closed to accommodate concrete barrier removals south of the roadway. During this closure, eastbound and westbound Glenmore Trail SE traffic movements will be maintained using single-lane alternating traffic in the westbound lane.

Temporary stoppages and minor delays to traffic are anticipated on eastbound and westbound Glenmore Trail SE east of 68 Street SE during this work. Flag people will be onsite.

This closure is scheduled to be in effect on May 24, 2012 from 10 pm to 6 am. Please note dates are subject to change. 

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 17th 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.
