They are on the Auburn Bay side and there's no way they are for an offramp or anything like that - just too far away from the new interchange and right beside the houses. They even have the soil covered in poly as well.
Actually that's exactly what they are for. You will be able to go from Deerfoot to Stoney and vice versa without having to slow down from 100. They are actually building all the interchanges "correctly"- like what you see in major US cities. This also answers the old question of "why are there lights on 130th instead of an interchage? Why is only Deerfoot free flowing?" Do do a full interchange takes a LOT of space and a lot of overpasses and underpasses.
