Speaking of the Stoney/TCH part of the ring road, does anyone know why there is major earthworks and disruption all the way west to Old Banff Coach road and TCH? The video above doesn't suggest they're doing an upgrade of that intersection (OBC/TCH) as part of this, and while some of it looks like a laydown area for vehicles there's more going on than can be accounted for by that alone.
Thanks in advance. Easier to be patient through the TCH jams in that area when it's clear what the reason is. The last time I drove it eastbound traffic was moderate and flowing at about 100kph, and as I was cresting the hill here (
