Was just going to post this, as I had to stop by the outlaws to pick something up for Mrs. Crazy Ham. They are doing the top lift on both east and westbound lanes. It is a gong show, going to be real interesting when the afternoon traffic starts up and the folks in Silverado do the U turn at McKevitt. Best to take Mcleod Tr south to get home.

Next few days is going to be detour city around Macleod to McKevitt, as KGL does final lift on various ramps. Best to check their website for the various closures expected in the next week.

Paving going gang busters on Stoney/22X including the MacLeod Tr. interchange

Time will tell, if they finish it by October 1st. Been fun watching 8 district guys hiding on the unopened portion between 22X and Fish Creek.

Noticed the Jersey turnpike barrier has been removed from the southbound lanes approaching Fish Creek and replaced with wooden barricades that thise Duke boys would crash through. They have also increased the left lane restriction further north with barrels and a lit arrow. Maybe this is an omen the opening is happening later this week.

Hearing that it will be open on Saturday.

Yeah, I heard Saturday around 4:00pm

Drove over it yesterday at noon, they were busy spraying grass seed. Hopefully it opens this weekend.

I drove out to the folks' ranch Tuesday in Millarville morning, the paving was done, lines painted in the westbound, eastbound weren't. When I returned around 13h00, they had painted the weetbound, looks ready to open.

Hopefully the city opens 162nd, which has been complete for a few years, but communication between the contractor and the city has not been the greatest from what I hear, so it would not surprise me if the city is unaware of the opening date.

Just wow.... There has to be more to this story.

Cardinal Dodginghorse made a similar protest a year earlier, when he told an assembled at the opening of a 12-kilometre section of Tsuut'ina Trail -- south of Glenmore Trail and north of Fish Creek Boulevard -- that his family had been displaced improperly, before cutting off his braid.

In their statement Tuesday, the Tsuut'ina officials refuted those claims.

"Mr. Cardinal has intimated that his voice was not heard in the debate around the transfer of Tsuut’ina lands for the South West Calgary Ring Road," it read.

"While Mr. Cardinal has family ties to our community, he is not a citizen of the Tsuut’ina Nation. Mr. Cardinal is a member of the Saddle Lake Cree Nation.

Thanks.

Anyone else out there curious about the progress (or lack there of) for the South Bow River Bridge project? I drive by there daily and don't see a lot going on. They started setting girders for the Eastbound bridge back in July but it seems they have stopped. I wonder if they are dealing with supply/fabrication issues. Their planned project completion of late 2023 seems at risk but no public announcement yet.

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing.
