Deerfoot south bridge to Dunbow road and back up 2A? Paving from Dunbow to 194th on 2A.
Deerfoot North to Anderson? Ivor Strong bridge construction.
Stoney to Glenmore? Glenmore, Deerfoot construction.

The bolded is the one I would recommend. The paving on 2A causing lane closures has been primarily at night during the week, or on weekends.
I’ve been using that route for years now and even though it may take a few minutes longer it has been very consistently reliable.
If you’re heading southbound on Deerfoot and need to get across, heading west towards MacLeod at Southland/Anderson/Bow Bottom and then getting back on the ring road from southbound macloed bypasses the bridge too.
Even taking Glenmore west all the way to the west ring road usually takes way less time than going through that mess and is generally pretty flew flow, mind you you’re driving extra kms this way.
Obviously with any of these options it still might take a little longer to get to your destination but it’s better than sitting in construction gridlock everyday and taking close to the same amount of time or way longer to get to your destination. Less stressful too.
