The very first thing I thought of while watching that video. I know they're looking down the line for when that may become necessary but wow when you consider the traffic the 401 sees in a day vs. the traffic this highway would see I just think that must be quite a far way off. Unless the city of course has a continuing development boom and pushes the suburbs of the city to cochrane and beyond.
I drove the stoney all the way from the airport to okotoks the other day and I must say that is some smooth sailing on that highway. I can't believe though that it's only 100. With the design of it you'd swear it was built for driving 140.
