Actually a bit surprised they were able to find money for this in 2021 as they're also doing a huge widening on Henday which is way more expensive.
I was almost stunned how fast they added the third lane to NW Stoney a few years back. For all the complaining we do this was actually well thought out. After watching that process vs. a typical City process of similar nature it was night and day. Temp jersey barriers to isolate the work from the traffic and the speed limit never has to drop lower than 80.
