Default Avoid Westhills area at all costs

Southbound Sarcee between Richmond and highway 8 is closed for paving.

Hour long lineups to get any where in Westhills and everyone diverted to Richmond off of Sarcee.

NB Deerfoot is a crawl due to roadwork between Memorial and 16 Ave, avoid that too.

Just abandoned my car in Westhills and walked home (up those damned stairs) after trying to go down just to pick up some groceries.

I'll go pick it up later once SB Sarcee is open again.

And as always, they've done a terrific job of having ZERO useful signage up.

What, you don't think all the signs warning of Sarcee delays weren't a good enough warning that instead Highway 8 was going to be closed, diverting all of that traffic through Westhills?

Took me well over half an hour just to get out of the mall parking lot this morning, partly due to people doing things like driving down the wrong side of the road then expecting someone to let them in when the oncoming traffic came.

Hello Panago? Yeah, I will have a Large Hawaiian.

For deiliver please. Send it to the white Grand Prix 25 cars back of the four way stop near Tim Hortons in Westhills. By the time you get here, I may be the 22nd car.

So it's still bad, eh? If I go now to get my car down there I can get a ride to the top of Battalion Park, but if not, it's going to be a long walk later.

I was driving up glenmore and the signs said Sarcee closed for paving on the 15th.....as we got to the point of no return, the signs read Sarcee closed on Sept 14 & 15.........turns out our side was not closed, other side was a gong show.......
