This may be relevant to anyone commuting tomorrow morning. Southbound Crowchild Tr is closed between Bow Trail and 33rd Ave due to a ruptured water main. Northbound Crowchild has been entirely routed to the offramp to 33rd (so it's down to one lane with a traffic light).

Apparently there's been extensive damage to the road on SB Crowchild and they're going to have to dig it up, diagnose the problem, fix it, then repair the road. The other problem was with how cold it was last night, the water was freezing almost as soon as it came out.

According to the news this mroing, they're not sure it will be fixed by tomorrow. So, if you're like me and have to be somewhere at a very specific time, I'd be planning alternate routes and leaving a LOT of extra time.
