Travellers’ advisory
New
ramp provides more Deerfoot Trail access
October 4, 2013
Motorists
heading west on Southeast Stoney Trail toward
southbound Deerfoot Trail will be able to access one new ramp starting in the early morning of October 6.
This new ramp will
allow the removal of the final set of signal lights at the SE Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail south
interchange – another step closer to completion of the project.
This work is taking place at night to
reduce impacts on the travelling public and ensure the safety of workers. Motorists
should use caution in this area and obey all message boards and flag persons.
Fines for speeding are doubled in construction zones when workers are present. Please note dates are subject to change due
to weather and other conditions.
Additional Information

Southeast
Stoney Trail is a $769 million P3 project for construction
and 30-years maintenance of 25 kilometres of six-lane roadway, nine
interchanges, 27 bridge structures and three flyovers, as well as maintenance
of 12 kilometres of Deerfoot Trail between Stoney Trail SE (currently Highway
22X) and the Highway 2A junction. It is set to open to motorists this fall.
Including this new segment, the Alberta government has invested $1.9 billion in
Calgary’s ring road, one of many projects which deliver on Alberta
Transportation’s Building Alberta commitment. All of this work supports the
economy and increased market access by focusing on capital
plan projects
for core infrastructure and key corridors, fulfilling the Redford Government’s
promise to invest in Alberta’s transportation network.
