Since they added two lanes in both directions on the Stoney/22X bridge across McLeod this is far less of an issue than in years past. The S/B McLeod to E/B Stoney/22X used to be backed up even with the 'metering' effect of the light at 162nd Ave.
This twinning has changed traffic patterns in the area for the better. E/B traffic leaving Spruce Meadows used to be backed up for miles before they twinned the lanes.
It's a short term inconvenience until the ring road is complete.
