I was the first car over the new west-south flyover at Deerfoot/22X. It doesn't sound that exciting, but there's something really cool about being the first to use a piece of infrastructure that costs a third of a billion dollars.

Airport calls the shots because it's their land.
They do not want Airport Trail connecting Deerfoot through to Stoney until the city builds interchanges at the intersections along Airport Trail, reason being that there will be too much congestion around the airport. So, the tunnel now ends at 36 St so you've got to go up to CHB to get over to Metis. Not ideal, but it will be fixed eventually... and of course building the tunnel after the fact would be far more expensive so this interim solution is definitely the right decision.
