Yes, Glenmore to 146 Ave, minus 69 St/Discovery Ridge. Maybe cause that bridge is so damn long it starts to bow in the middle like the Confederation Bridge. Long answer
here.

[October 1, 2020] includes the design and construction of approximately 15 kilometers of a new 6- and 8- lane divided freeway (and related appurtenances such as drainage works, street lighting, traffic signals, signage and roadside barriers) on the Calgary Ring Road from 69 Street SW to 146 Avenue SW. The Priority New Infrastructure is located on lands formerly within the Tsuut’ina Nation and is a subset of the New Infrastructure.
Other components of the Priority New Infrastructure include:

and
Pedestrian grade separation north of Anderson Road SW.
In addition, existing roadways, existing grading, and related appurtenances (such as drainage works, lighting, and signage) located within the Project Limits (as defined in Schedule 18) shall form part of the Priority New Infrastructure. This includes but is not limited to:- the portion of Glenmore Trail from east of 69 Street SW to east of 37 Street W;

In the documentation they call it PNI (priority new infrastructure) and RNI (remaining new infrastructure), outlining what is contained in both. "First part" and "second part" is maybe more descriptive.
So 14 St gets bailed out this year, and there's now another proper bridge across Fish Creek so Macleod gets bailed out. To me this section is like 70% of the total benefit of SWRR.
