I imagine that Crowchild might be the next "complete" freeway in the city.

There's lot of shorter sections of freeway in the city though too:
Glenmore Trail - 11km of Freeway and will add a km or two after the 37th Street interchange is complete.

Crowchild Trail - 6km free on the south end & another 12 km free in the NW (once all current construction is complete)

16th Ave NE - 5 km free - that becomes nearly 9 km when the 68th/16th interchange gets built

McLeod Trail S - 6 km Free once Fake Fraser Gate is built. 9.4 km free once 162nd Ave interchange is built after that.

McKnight/John Laurie - has 6 km between lights.

16th Ave W will have almost 8 km of freeway(starting from the city limit on the west end) once the Bowfort Road interchange is built.

In the future, Metis Trail, McKnight Blvd, Airport Trail, Sarcee Trail, Stoney Trail, More of Glenmore, Crowchild will be combined, HWY 22X, and possibly other could be freeways.

There are quite a few roads that just have one or two lights that need to be removed to extend freeway portions, and in almost all of those cases, the new interchanges are on the radar at the city, being talked about.
