This release was issued under a previous government.
Motorists accessing northbound Deerfoot Trail from eastbound Highway 22X will be shifted onto a new temporary ramp and use a new signalized intersection to make this turn. The temporary signals will also affect westbound Highway 22X through traffic. Traffic will use the temporary signals and ramp until the summer of 2013.
Motorists accessing westbound Highway 22X from northbound Deerfoot Trail will be shifted onto a new permanent access ramp. The changes are not expected to affect Deerfoot Trail through traffic.
The changes are scheduled to go into effect the evening of Sept. 28. Please note dates are subject to change due to weather and other conditions.
Minor traffic delays will occur while crews implement these changes. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time to adjust to the new traffic patterns.
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 open to traffic by the fall of 2013.
