The detour road on this project will take six months to build alone, and should be done by the end of the fall. Glenmore will be down to two lanes each way from MacLeod to Elbow, 5th street will be closed, and the traffic lights on Glenmore removed early next month.

I can picture what that'll look like around Christmas, with the Zoo known as Chinook next to that.
Personally, I never found the Glenmore / Elbow interchange to be THAT bad, but perhaps the times I drove it are not representative. I'm a little wary of City road projects sometimes, anyone remember the intersection work they were doing at Shaganappi and 32nd Ave a few years back? They tore that entire intersection up, diverted traffic, worked it over for 3-4 months, and when all was said and done, it looked like nothing had ever changed (I think they raised the grade 1ft or something). No new turn bays, no new lanes, nothing.
