Lanes on northbound and southbound Chaparral Boulevard SE will be maintained. Lanes on eastbound Highway 22X will not be affected. Temporary delays or minor stoppages of traffic may occur when traffic is switched onto the new ramp.

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.
