This release was issued under a previous government.
Eastbound and westbound traffic on Highway 22X will be reduced to one lane in each direction when required. Minor stoppages of traffic on Highway 22X may occur when crews are directly overhead. No changes to traffic on Deerfoot Trail are required during all nighttime activity.
Traffic requiring access from westbound Highway 22X to southbound Deerfoot Trail will be detoured onto northbound Deerfoot Trail to the McKenzie Towne Boulevard interchange. Traffic will then use the interchange’s southbound Deerfoot Trail access ramp. Traffic control personnel will be on site during all nighttime activity.
The intermittent detours will be in effect from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. nightly Oct. 1-19. Please note dates are subject to change due to weather and other conditions. The work is being done in off-peak hours to minimize impacts to motorists.
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.
