This release was issued under a previous government.

The two left turn lanes normally accommodate traffic travelling from westbound Highway 22X onto southbound Chaparral Boulevard SE. 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 and there will be a single through lane.

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.

Please note the date is subject to change.

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.
