The Alberta Government undertook planning and right-of-way acquisition for a future ring road in the 1970's. In the mid 1990's, the first section of Stoney Trail (the North West portion of the ring road) was constructed from the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) to Crowchild Trail and then subsequently to Country Hills Blvd. In 2003, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation (AIT) and the Government of Canada committed funding to complete Stoney Trail across Northwest Calgary to finish linking the TCH and Deerfoot Trail N., Highway 2. This 22 km project includes replacing 4 existing signalized intersections with interchanges, expanding the existing mainline to 4 lanes, and 17 km of new 4-lane Roadway with 2 new Interchanges, 1 Flyover, 2 Signalized Intersections, and one right-in, right-out Intersection. This paper will provide an overview of design concepts for interchanges/intersections, plus an update of construction progress to date. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
