It'll take a little bit for the calculations to normalize, as Acey suggests.

As a Tuscanite heading to Spruce Meadows fairly frequently (with Howie_16), I bet that we'll save at least 5 more minutes each way with this new leg opening, but possibly as much as 10. Though that's pretty optimistic as it doesn't factor in Sarcee traffic actually improving because of Stoney being open. Regardless, it'll be a much nicer drive with no lights between Tuscany and the one near Spruce Meadows.

The leg that really made things nicer was the part through the Tsuut'ina. Not having to deal with Glenmore, 14th, or Macleod was very welcomed indeed, and probably shaved the most time off of the Cavalry Commute.
