This release was issued under a previous government.
The two westbound left turn lanes on Highway 22X will be closed to allow for the placement of a crane to assist in bridge construction. The centre through lane will be used as a temporary left turn lane to accommodate motorists who wish to turn south on to Chaparral Boulevard SE.
The closure of the two left lanes is taking place during the daytime to ensure the safety of workers in the area while the crane is being operated.
Please note the date is 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 17 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 portion of the ring road will be open to traffic by the fall of 2013.
