Default Q about Glenmore Construction

If I'm heading northbound on McLeod.... have they opened up any lanes yet up by Chinook to get westbound on Glenmore?

Yup, it's been open for a while. Still slow going though, as construction is still happening.

The new goggles also do nothing.

Yup, nothing's changed from that point of view.

I'd tell you how to get around that, but then I'd have a steady flow of CP'ers slowing ME down....

I tried this route out yesterday instead of waiting for half an hour to get through.

Take Glenmore West, and exit off at Macleod South. Take your first right at Jack Carter (the car dealership) and take that road West bound to Elbow. A quick right on Elbow and a quick left back to Glenmore, and you're now through the gongshow in about 1/4 of the time.

Nice! I've done something similar a few times where I turn right again after the dealership and back onto the eastbound exit lane and followed the loop back around to westbound Glenmore, but I never thought to go all the way through to Elbow.

It has been a bit better through there the past few days, I had actually resorted to going through down town to get to my work for a while; it was faster to go all the way through downtown than it was to go through Glenmore/Elbow!
