Google Maps uses a bunch of things to calculate the times as opposed to a simple time=distance/speed, like algorithms that factor in historical traffic patterns based on data from Android devices... fair to assume the engine isn't going to have a ton of data for a road that opened 2 days ago so I guess it makes sense for the times to be wonky initially. I bet for a while it'll overestimate any trip going through Sarcee/Bow too.
