Back to the ring road for a sec... completion dates for the SW leg are now firm. For the first time on an Alberta ring road leg, the project is being split into 2 completion dates a year apart, to ensure the critical section through Tsuu T'ina is completed on time. They're calling it the "Priority New Infrastructure" (PNI) and it must be done by October 1, 2020. That includes widening Glenmore from Discovery Ridge to 37 St, extending Sarcee down to Fish Creek Blvd with a couple of interchanges along the way, including an absolutely gigantic complex at Glenmore/Sarcee to replace the current intersection.

The "Remaining New Infrastructure" (RNI) is one year later on October 1, 2021, and it includes everything else: finishing the last bit of Stoney from Fish Creek Blvd down to a big interchange at 22X, then huge upgrades to 22X including a mega interchange at 22X/Macleod, bridges everywhere, basketweaves, the works.

So October 1, 2021 is the day to mark on your calendar if you're in Bridlewood, Silverado et al., but also Discovery Ridge because the 69 St interchange is part of the RNI. Canyon Meadows, Braeside, and everything north of Fish Creek your date to mark is the 2020 date unless you go south a lot, but I doubt life will be that horrible at that point with Macleod/162 Ave open.

If anything goes majorly wrong they'll bail on all the 22X work to make sure everything north of Fish Creek is done in time.
