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

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.
