Basically they took what was a round about way of getting from Deerfoot onto Glenmore and made it longer. Technically the new way is probably a dozen metres shorter, but more 60 km/h zone, more intersections/driveways, and an extra set of lights.
Going NB Deerfoot to EB Glenmore is much easier now though. |
You can also take the EB Glenmore turn off that is another km or so up the road, and then take the first exit and turn left at the lights to get to the same place. I find this is faster during shopping times, when strugglers fill the original turn off on their way to buy meatballs at Ikea.
