Yes, they can fix it in 20 years, and yes, they will need to. And also, yes, it will be a royal PITA when they do. I'm just asking IF there is a plan (and by extension, what that plan looks like). I am sorry for ruffling feathers.

I've gone by that intersection a fair amount, and I don't share your same anticipation that it will need to be modified from how it is right now. The concern of North Central densification causing that movement to cause conflict with WB -> SB traffic I highly doubt will ever get to weaving/congestion problems. Along with a new partial interchange being built at 128 Ave NE, the two interchanges north of Stoney Trail also have plans for upgrades according to Alberta Transportation website. Although I figure most traffic will probably use Stoney, NC Calgary will have interchanges further north to support the development that happens that far up as.
Perhaps HWY 566 will be developed as some sort of high level arterial/expressway to push traffic over to there to get to Deerfoot; rather than heading south to Stoney.
