I remember it being 3 lanes across each way. With the volume of traffic getting onto Deerfoot, sometime in the 90's IIRC they sacrificed two of the lanes to make a dedicated merge for EB Glenmore traffic to NB Deerfoot, and to make the merge from SB Deerfoot to EB GLenmore / WB Glenmore to SB Deerfoot a heck of a lot safer, as the bridge design did not have the capacity for proper merges. A bandaid solution at best, which now causes other issues.
