Also, if anyone needs evidence that the SW badly needs the ring road, check out Glenmore on a Saturday afternoon. It is as busy as rush hour on a weekday, and guess what? No one goes downtown on the weekend. Even on a weekday, the amount of traffic using Glenmore to go from the SE Industrial parks to the SW is huge.

1 short lane closure on Sarcee jammed up the whole area traffic wise, on a Saturday. I couldn't believe it.
Its $300 million for the tunnel and upwards of $500 million including necessary interchanges and other upgrades.
