This release was issued under a previous government.
Eastbound and westbound Highway 22X will be reduced to a single lane between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. nightly. Sign removal will also affect the northbound Deerfoot Trail to eastbound Highway 22X access ramp. Intermittent temporary stoppages for Highway 22X and the Deerfoot Trail access ramp are required to allow equipment and workers to move safely while removing the signage. The work is being done in off-peak hours to provide a safe work environment for the sign crews and to minimize impacts to motorists. Please note dates are subject to change due to weather and work progress.
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 signage removal is part of the Southeast Stoney Trail Project. 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.
