They'll build one side, put two-way traffic on it, then build the other side. And they have to do that 3 times. 11 total bridges will be the most for one interchange in Alberta, but Sarcee/Glenmore's will be longer and higher. Neither will touch the ramp height of Yellowhead/Henday in northeast Edmonton.
Aside from these 2, everything else seems relatively straight forward, assuming there's no unforeseen environmental issues around Fish Creek, or sensitive issues with Tsuu T'ina historical artifacts, remains, etc. |
I hate the figure 8 design for traffic going from eastbound Stoney to northbound Macleod. They have something very similar for southbound Stoney onto eastbound Crowchild. I find that it becomes really scary to navigate in slippery winter conditions because of the multiple curves and elevation changes.
