September 5, 2013

 

Dear Residents in the 88 St. SE and Highway 22X interchange area

Re: Upcoming 88^th Street SE road closure and new access plan  

As a local resident, you continue to see the work being done as Stoney Trail/Highway 22X nears completion. You are receiving this information because there is an upcoming road closure of 88^th Street SE which will impact you.

Local residents are advised that 88^th Street SE will be closed from 88^th Street SE and Stoney Trail/Highway 22X intersection to the private road south of Highway 22X in Calgary, effective September 6, 2013 at 12 a.m. and will be made available again on October 1, 2013. Traffic from Stoney Trail/Highway 22X SE to 88^th Street SE and from to 88^th Street SE to Stoney Trail/Highway 22X SE will no longer be permitted and alternate local routes must be used via 178^th Avenue SE and 104^th Street SE. A map outlining the detour routes for local residents is available on the subsequent page.

Motorists traveling on 88^th Street SE and 178^th Avenue SE should take eastbound on 178^th Avenue SE to northbound 104^th Street SE in order to connect with Stoney Trail/Highway 22X. Additionally, motorists travelling on Stoney Trail/Highway 22X should take southbound 104^th Street and 178^th Avenue SE to access 88^th Street SE or the west end of 178^th Avenue SE.

A new connection from Stoney Trail/Highway 22X will be made available on October 1, 2013 to allow access from northbound 88^th Street SE to westbound Stoney Trail/Highway 22X and eastbound Stoney Trail/Highway 22X to southbound 88^th Street SE.

Motorists should use caution in this area and obey all signs, and message boards. Fines double in construction zones when workers are present.

The Southeast Stoney Trail Project (SEST) is a public‐private partnership (P3) project between the Alberta Government and Chinook Roads Partnership. Chinook Roads Partnership has been contracted to design, build, partially finance and maintain the SEST Project over a 33‐year term. Construction of the southeast Stoney Trail ring road, set to open to traffic by the fall of 2013, represents the Government of Alberta’s commitment to expanding market access through work on core infrastructure and key transportation corridors that benefit all Albertans.
