^^ I don't know about that, as I was exiting on to EB Stoney from SB Deerfoot on my way home tonight I was looking at the flyover that takes you from WB Stoney to SB Deerfoot and noticed that the the support for the northern part of the fly over is about twice as wide as the current roadbed that sits on it, almost looks like they could have built a split flyover with some lanes exiting on the LH side on to Deerfoot and a second part that would cross over and connect on the RH side of Deerfoot to give access to Cranston. The SB Deerfoot traffic would come through the middle and those exiting into Cranston would just have to merge right with the traffic coming off the RH flyover which would probably all be going to Cranston any way, since the SB Deerfoot traffic would come down on the LH side as it does now. I don't know if this is only another '$20M bridge' but it certainly seems doable and safe.
