Below is a travel advisory media release from the Alberta Government:
Finishing
touches for new Stoney Trail bridge
Motorists
travelling at night along Stoney Trail/Highway 22X SE may see workers putting
the finishing touches on one of the Calgary ring road
bridges.
From
July 8 to 12, motorists travelling east
and westbound on Stoney Trail/Highway 22X will be directed under the new bridge
to allow for the smoothing of concrete and painting overhead at McKenzie Lake
Boulevard/Cranston Boulevard SE
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.
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.
