Provincial highways in Alberta

→Stoney Trail, designated Alberta Provincial Highway No. 201 by Alberta Transportation,[1] is a ring road highway around Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Currently located entirely within the City of Calgary, Highway 201 is one of the two ring roads in Alberta (the other being Highway 216 in Edmonton). It is also one of three highways in the 1-216 series of Alberta's provincial highway system with a three-digit highway number designation.
Highway 201 serves as a bypass route for Highway 1, a major urban thoroughfare. It will also serve as a bypass route for Highway 2 (Deerfoot Trail), Alberta's busiest highway,[2] once the southeast leg is completed. Its highway number, 201, was derived from these two highways.
Highway 201, is split into four sections, designated by compass quadrants. The northeast segment was known as East Freeway until partway through construction. The construction of the southeast portion of the Ring Road started in the spring of 2010, with a completion date of fall 2013. The southwest segment will likely have its route changed after the rejection of an agreement by the residents of the Tsuu Tina reservation that it had been planned to cross.
Stoney Trail was named after the Nakoda First Nation, who are commonly known in English as the Stoney.
[edit] Transportation and utility corridor
Planning for the Calgary and Edmonton Ring Road started in the 1970s when the province developed Restricted Development Areas in a corridor of land then mostly outside the developed civic areas for future infrastructure including high speed ring road systems.[3] This land is also known as the transportation and utility corridor (TUC) as land set aside for future road and utility purposes. Land acquisition started in 1974 and by the time the Ring Road projects were initiated had acquired 97% of the lands. Of note is the Calgary TUC which failed to include a TUC corridor in SW Calgary between Glenmore Trail and Highway 22X.[4] The City of Calgary is bounded along 37 Street SW by the Tsuu Tina Nation. The developed areas of the City of Calgary had already reached 37 Street SW around the Glenmore Reservoir inhibiting the ability of the government to impose an RDA. The missing link in the TUC map created uncertainty in the future SW Ring Road network which to this day complicates completion of the SW Ring Road.
[edit] Stoney Trail Northwest
Stoney Trail consists of the western and northern part of the ring road, and, at its completion, will effectively be a freeway link between Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) on the west side of Calgary and Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2). Although Highway 1 (as 16 Avenue N) does intersect directly with Deerfoot Trail, travellers from the west must go through the city's urban area to do so.
The NW Quadrant of the Ring Road was the first to be constructed. In the mid 1990's, the Province of Alberta built the first segment around the Bow River Bridge connecting Highway 1 with Crowchild Trail. This was subsequently extended to Country Hill Boulevard. In 2003, the province announced finishing the quadrant by extending the Ring Road 17 km north to link up with Deerfoot Trail. The original design was limited in scope and incorporated 2 interchanges, 1 flyover and 2 signalized intersections with completion scheduled in 2007 at a cost of 250 million dollars. In January 2005, the province announced an increase in scope of the project with the addition of 3 additional interchanges replacing the existing lights at Croswhild Trail, Country Hills Boulevard and Scenic Acres.[5] Although the additional work was originally announced to fall within the original budget, subsequent news reports in 2006 reported the project budget had increased to 485 million dollars.[6]
Along with increasing costs, the project was delayed and the full extension to Deerfoot Trail was not opened until November 2, 2009 although some sections were opened earlier.
The portion of the ring road between Harvest Hills Boulevard and Deerfoot Trail opened to traffic on November 2, 2009. 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles were expected to use this segment daily.[7] Actual Peak traffic volumes have exceeded 40,000 vpd between Crowchild Trail and Country Hills Boulevard in 2010.[8]
[edit] 11 Street NE interchange
Rough grading has been completed for a future interchange at 11 Street NE.[9] This road would service undeveloped industrial land bounded to the east by Deerfoot Trail, north by Stoney Trail, west by the CPR ROW and south by Country Hills Boulevard. No schedule has been set for the construction of this interchange. The interchange will also provide a road connection north of Stoney Trail.
[edit] Harvest Hills Boulevard interchange
The NW Ring Road was opened on November 2, 2009 with signalized lights at Harvest Hills Boulevard but rough grading was completed for a future possible interchange. On November 25, 2009, the province announced construction of the Harvest Hills Boulevard Interchange to be opening in Fall 2010.[10] The cost of the interchange project was 14 million dollars.[11] The interchange opened to traffic in 2010.
[edit] 14 Street NW interchange
Rough grading has been completed for a future interchange at 14 Street NW. At present, there is a right in right out access south of Stoney Trail into the city of Calgary community of Panarama Hills.[9] No schedule has been set for the construction of this interchange. The interchange will also provide a road connection north of Stoney Trail.
[edit] Beddington Trail interchange
Originally this was going to be a signalized intersection when the project was initiated but was upgraded to an interchange when the project was finished in 2009. This interchange opend in July 2009 when the segment from Sarcee Trail to Harvest Hills Boulevard was opened a few months ahead of the full extension to Deerfoot Trail.[12]
[edit] Shaganappi Trail interchange
Originally this was going to be a flyover with no connections to the NW Ring Road when the project was initiated but was upgraded to an interchange when the project was finished in 2009. This interchange opend in July 2009 when the segment from Sarcee Trail to Harvest Hills Boulevard was opened a few months ahead of the full extension to Deerfoot Trail.[12]
[edit] Sarcee Trail interchange
This was going to be a signalized intersection when the NW Ring Road project was initiated but was upgraded to an interchange when the project was completed. The segment from Country Hills Boulevard to Sarcee Trail was opened on November 25, 2008, a year ahead of the full extension to Deerfoot Trail.[13]
[edit] Country Hills Boulevard interchange
This interchange was added to the NW Ring Road project in January 2005 to replace the original signalized intersection built when this segment of the ring road was built in the 1990s.[5] The original project scope had this remaining a signalized intersection. The interchange opened to traffic in September 2008.
[edit] Crowchild Trail interchange
A new interchange was announced on January 28, 2005 as part of an upgrade to the 250 million dollar Calgary NW Ring Road Project .[5] The Crowchild Interchange was constructed along a pre-existing portion of Stoney Trail, at Crowchild Trail (Original completion Fall 2006). While building the Crowchild Interchange the City of Calgarty made plans to extend the NW LRT to Tuscany in late 2007 which necessitated redesigning the Crowchild Interchange while still under construction.[14] The Crowchild interchange design was modified to include an LRT bridge to allow for the C-Train to be extended west to Tuscany station, and will be built as to not require signalized intersections for the ramps as was initially planned.[15] The Crowchild Interchange fully opened to traffic on September 28, 2011.[16]
[edit] Scenic Acres interchange
This interchange was added to the NW Ring Road project in January 2005 to replace the original signalized intersection built when this segment of the ring road was built in the 1990s.[5] This interchange necessitated the realignment and temporary closure of Scenic Acres Link.[17] The full interchange opened to traffic in the fall of 2009.
[edit] Nose Hill Drive interchange
Following the completion of the Crowchild Trail interchange, there will only be traffic signals remaining at the intersection of Nose Hill Drive. Aecom was retained in the spring of 2010 to plan, design and administer construction of this interchange to be open in the fall of 2012.[18] The interchange at Nose Hill Drive is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2013.[19] Alberta Transportation announced on November 17, 2011 that the Nose Hill Drive interchange will be build by Acciona Infrastructure Canada at a cost of $67 million to be open to traffic in the fall of 2014.[20]
[edit] Southern extension of Stoney Trail
Planning for construction of the southern leg of Stoney Trail, which will link from the current southern terminus at Highway 1 to Highway 8 is currently in progress, although construction is not anticipated to start for several years.[21] This portion of the freeway will require additional bridge structures to be constructed on the 16 Avenue interchange, in addition to new overpasses and flyovers built at Old Banff Coach Road, Bow Trail (12 Avenue SW), 17 Avenue SW, and Glenmore Trail (Highway 8). The proposed alignment for this portion of the expressway will run south from its current terminus through the Paskapoo slopes on the west side of Canada Olympic Park, then adjacent to the communities of Cougar Ridge, West Springs, Aspen Woods, and Springbank Hill to the east of 101 Street SW, and ending with an interchange at Highway 8.[22][23]
[edit] Stoney Trail Northeast
The northeast portion of the Stoney Trail ring road, which was originally known as part of the East Freeway, opened to traffic on November 2, 2009 and links 17 Avenue SE (Highway 1A) to an interchange with Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2) on the northern side of Calgary.[24] The roadway runs in a nearly straight line approximately two-thirds of the way between 68 Street NE and 84 Street NE (city limits, Range Road 290) north from 17 Avenue SE, before turning west to the interchange with Deerfoot Trail.
In December 2005, the City of Calgary announced it was in talks with the province to fast-track construction of the East Freeway, which previously had been thought to be decades away from completion, so that it can be built within the next few years. On February 22, 2007, Alberta's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation awarded a contract to the Stoney Trail Group public-private partnership consortium (P3) to construct the first stage of the project, as well as to maintain the Northwest and Northeast sections of the ring road for 30 years following completion. This initial stage of construction began in 2007 and extends Stoney Trail by a length of 21 kilometres from Deerfoot Trail to 17 Avenue SE.[25]
Major interchanges along the northeast route include Metis Trail (which serves as an alternate link to the CrossIron Mills shopping area north of the city., Country Hills Boulevard, McKnight Boulevard, and 16 Avenue NE (Highway 1).
[edit] Metis Trail interchange
At the time of construction, an partial cloverleaf interchange was built for the connection to Metis Trail north to Highway 566 and a south road towards the City of Calgary.[26] The City of Calgary opened the extension of Metis Trail between 80 Ave. and 96 Ave.on October 29, 2011.[27]
[edit] 60 Street NE interchange
At the time of construction, the earthworks was completed for a future interchange with 60 Street NE.[28] This interchange is to be completed by others in the future when required. At present, the adjacent city of Calgary land is undeveloped. The interchange could also contain a future NE LRT extension over the ring road should the city decide to extend the NE LRT north along 60 Street NE to the Ring Road.[26]
[edit] Airport Trail/96 Avenue interchange
A limited-access interchange at Airport Trail/96 Avenue NE was built at the time of NE ring road construction but, as of December 2009, is not open to traffic as there was no connecting road. The existing Airport Trail/96 Avenue interchange will provide direct access from the ring road to Calgary International Airport when Airport Trail is completed. As of October 12, 2011, 96 Avenue was opened from Stoney Trail west to 60 Street NE, accessible only from the south.[29]
[edit] 17 Avenue Southeast interchange
At the time of the northeast ring road construction, the 17 Avenue SE change was not included with the NE Ring Road P3 project. The current connection to 17 Avenue SE is a split T at grade signalized intersection. In reality, the NE ring road project stopped a few hundred meters north of 17 Avenue where the median narrows for the intersection. The 17 Avenue interchange is to be constructed as part of the SE Ring Road Project.[30]
[edit] Stoney Trail Southeast/East Freeway
On March 2, 2009, the Alberta Government announced the proceeding with construction of the remaining portion of the East Freeway from 17 Avenue SE to Highway 22X (Marquis of Lorne Trail), as well as improvements to the existing Highway 22X roadway between that location and just east of the Macleod Trail (Highway 2A) interchange. This portion, like the northeastern portion, will be built as a P3.[31] Three firms bid on the contract: Chinook Partnership, SEConnect and SE Calgary Connector Group.[32] The winning bid for the project was submitted by Chinook Roads Partnership for 769 million dollars.[33] Chinook Roads Partnership will also be responsible for maintenance of this portion of the Ring Road, as well as maintenance of Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2) between Highway 22X and Highway 2A for 30 years after construction completion. Construction of this leg began in the spring of 2010 and be completed by the fall of 2013.
Initially the Stoney Trail name had not been expected to be used for the East Freeway, however the name has been adopted in recent publications from Alberta Transportation. In the announcement for the Southeast portion of the project, the East Freeway name was not referred to. The southeast leg of the Ring Road will be called Stoney Trail, as are the northwestern and northeastern sections.
The southeastern portion is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013. Construction began in the spring of 2010.[34]
[edit] Macleod Trail to Deerfoot Trail
There will be upgrades to 22X as part of the SECRR project.
[edit] Sun Valley Boulevard/Chaparral Boulevard interchange
The Sun Valley Boulevard/Chaparral Boulevard Intersection will be upgraded to an interchange. The ultimate interchange plan calls for a partial clover leaf design but the initial SECRR will use a diamond interchange design.[35] The original project schedule from June 2010 had interchange construction starting in 2010 with construction of the bridge structure in 2011 towards a phased opening in 2012-2013.[36] The revised project schedule of June 2011 had construction start in 2011 towards a 2013 interchange opening.
.[37] As of December 2011. field construction has not yet begun on this interchange..
[edit] Mackenzie Lake Boulevard/Cranston Boulevard interchange
The Mackenzie Lake Boulevard/Cranston Boulevard intersection will also be upgraded to a modified diamond interchange, work on this interchange got underway in 2010 and by fall 2011 the bridge structure has already been erected.[38] The interchange design is a modified diamond as this interchange is proximal to the full systems interchange upgrade for the 22X/Deerfoot Trail Interchange.
The original project schedule from June 2010 had this interchange opening in the fall of 2011.[36] The revised project schedule of June 2011 still indicated a Fall 2011 opening but work will continue on this intersection into 2012.[37]
Of note is the construction detours once this interchange opens, access to eastbound Highway 22X will be temporarily closed until the Deerfoot Trail Interchange upgrade is complete in 2013.
[edit] Deerfoot Trail interchange
The Deerfoot Trail interchange will have intertwined access ramps with the Mackenzie/Cranston interchange to the west.[39] EB 22X to NB Deerfoot Trail will have a multi-stack flyover as will WB 22X to SB Deerfoot Trail, no access ramps will have signalized intersections on the Deerfoot Interchange. This interchange will be constructed in 3 phases before being finally completed in the fall of 2013 with the SECRR project.
Phase 1 construction involves relocating the existing WB 22X to NB Deerfoot and EB 22X to SB Deerfoot access ramps which will open to traffic in Phase 2. Perhaps the biggest construction detour disruption of the project, construction of a new temporary EB 22X to NB Deerfoot traffic signalized intersection and access ramp. Opening to traffic in Phase 2, the existing clover leaf access ramp will be closed. This will add an additional set of lights on 22X on the east side of the existing interchange. This closure is necessary to construct the main line Deerfoot Trail South to 22X east flyover ramps where the existing cloverleaf ramp exists.
Phase 2 construction involves further realignment of access ramps including the SB Deerfoot to WB 22X ramp including tie in to the new Cranston/Lake Mackenzie Boulevard interchange and related access ramps. Construction of the Deerfoot/22X mainline flyover will also be undertaken.
Phase 3 construction completes the revised interchange design with construction of the EB 22X to NB Deerfoot flyover ramp with structures over 22X and Deerfoot Trail as well as completing the new SB DF to EB 22X cloverleaf ramp connection.
[edit] Deerfoot Trail to East Freeway
This section of Highway 22 will be twinned, an upgrade from the current single lane undivided roadway. Current construction schedules have this twinning of the main line ring road being built from Spring 2011 to Spring 2012.[37] As of December 2011, rough grading work of the twinned sections is underway with some primary layers of asphalt overlay but no sections are yet open to traffic.
[edit] 52 Street SE interchange
The 52nd St. SE intersection will be upgraded to a partial cloverleaf interchange.[40] The original project schedule from June 2010 had this interchange fully opening in the fall of 2013 with traffic on the new structure in the summer of 2012 with construction starting in 2011.[36] The revised project schedule of June 2011 still indicated a Fall 2013 opening, the only significant difference is the temporary constructions detour road has been shifted to the east side of the bridge structure from the west side.[37] As of December 2011, construction of the interchange had started with rough grading of the interchange ramps and piling installation.
[edit] East Freeway/88 Street SE interchange
At 88 St. SE, the east freeway segment will intersect 22X with a full systems interchange now under construction. The existing intersection with 88 Street SE will be removed as it is too close to the proposed interchange.[41] Current documents have 88 Street SE north of 22X closing no earlier than March 31, 2012. This road is the defacto SE ring road used by motorists until the southeast ring road opens to traffic in the fall of 2013. Closure of 88 Street north of 22X will cause construction detour disruption for motorists in the area.
[edit] East Freeway/22X to Glenmore
Heading north on the new east freeway alignment which is a few hundred meters west of the existing 88 Street SE. At the junction of Highway 22X, the scope of the interchange infringes on the existing 88 Street Roadway necessitating its closure. .
[edit] 130 Avenue SE interchange
The new SE Ring Road will intersect 130 Avenue with a partial cloverleaf interchange.[42]
[edit] 114 Avenue SE interchange
There will be a similar partial cloverleaf interchange at the intersection of 114 Avenue SE.[43]
[edit] 106 Avenue flyover
In the plans are a future flyover of 106 Avenue but this will not be part of the original SE ring road project, to be constructed by others at a future date. It will have no connecting roads with the SE Ring Road.
[edit] Glenmore Trail interchange
Heading north, the ring road will intersect existing Glenmore Trail with a full Clover stack systems interchange.[44] East and west bound Glenmore Trail will both have left turn flyover ramps whereas this turning movement on the ring road will have cloverlear ramps. Full systems interchange, no signal lights.
[edit] Glenmore to 17 Avenue SE
[edit] 17 Avenue SE interchange
The SE Ring Road will direct connect to the existing NE Ring Road at 17 Avenue SE will be upgraded to a partial cloverleaf interchange.[45]
[edit] 61 Avenue flyover
Simlar to 106 Avenue, there are provisions for a future flyover of 61 Avenue to be built by others at a future date, no connections to the ring road.
[edit] Macleod Trail interchange
In the fall of 2011, the province held a community consultation meeting on upgrading the Macleod Trail/22X Interchange which was not included in the southeast ring road project. Pending funding, this will open in the fall of 2014 which includes twinning the bridge over Macleod Trail and twinning an additional bridge structure over the CPR ROW. The existing interchange is also only an undivided single lane in each direction along 22X on the bridge structure over Macleod Trail. This is the only single lane segment of 22X between Deerfoot Trail and the junction with Highway 22 15 km west of the City of Calgary.
This will upgrade the interchange to a full cloverleaf and remove the lights on 22X west of Macleod Trail. This will become an interim full systems interchange with no signalized intersections on the access ramps. The ultimate interchange design includes a stacked interchange with flyovers from WB 22X to SB Macleod Trail and NB Macleod to WB 22X.[46] The ultimate interchange design was predicated on the traffic volumes associated with the SW Calgary Ring Road and was to have been built as part of the SW Calgary Ring Road project. With the Tsuu Tina vote of June 30, 2009 rejecting the ring road agreement putting uncertainty back in the SW Ring Road project, the construction of the ultimate interchange configuration has been deferred.
This interchange is further complicated by the fact it contains a right in right out access into the adjacent Shawnessy Town Center regional commercial area. At present, traffic can exit onto the interchange access ramps allowing egress to EB and WB Highway 22X. Reduced access from the Shawnessy Town Center will be maintained but only onto the SB Macleod to WB 22X ramp.[47]
[edit] Southwest Calgary Ring Road
The final leg of the Calgary Ring Road, currently known as the Southwest Calgary Ring Road, but also widely referred to as the Sarcee Trail Extension, is still in the initial planning and public consultation stages. The original proposed route ran from approximately the intersection of Sarcee Trail and Glenmore Trail (Highway 8), south through the Tsuu T'ina First Nation to eventually reach Spruce Meadows Trail in the south of the city. Plans called for the road to be initially built as a 4-6 lane expressway with the ability to easily upgrade the corridor to the 'ultimate' stage (to be completed by 2035) as a 16 lane freeway with express and collector lanes. However, the routing was rejected by the Tsuu T'ina First Nation on June 30, 2009. Despite indications from the band that they would like to reopen negotiations, the province has shown little interest. As an alternative, the City of Calgary proposed constructing an interchange at the intersection of Glenmore Trail and 37 Street SW. Construction of phase one of the interchange began in May 2010[48] and opened to traffic in September 2010.[49]
[edit] Highway 22X
Planned upgrades for the Highway 22X portion of the SWCRR include upgrading 22X west of Macleod to freeway status. These three interchange upgrades along with the Highway 22X/Macleod Trail Interchange upgrades were part of the SWCRR project which was to be completed with the successful agreement with the Tsuu Tina Nation on the contentious Anderson Road to Glenmore Trail segment. With the rejection of the agreement on June 30, 2009, the 22X interchange upgrades are on indefinite hold.
[edit] 6 Street SW interchange
22X/SWCRR will retain connectivity with 6 Street SW which will be upgraded to partial a cloverleaf interchanges. The close proximity of 6 Street SW to Macleod Trail will necessitate some shared access ramps.[47]
[edit] James McKevitt Road interchange
22X/SWCRR will also retain connectivity with James McKevitt Road upgrading to a partial cloverleaf interchange.[47]
[edit] 24 Street SW intersection
The existing intersection of 24 Street with 22X will be removed when the SWCRR is constructed as this road is just east of the future junction of 22X and the future north-south alignment of the SWCRR.[50]
[edit] 22X and SWCRR/Sarcee Trail Extension interchange
A new full systems interchange built at 22X and the new alignment for the northwest-southeast segment of the SW Ring Road (sarcee Trail Extension) to Anderson Road.[50]
[edit] 37 Street SW intersection
The existing intersection and 37 Street would be removed when the SWCRR is constructed as this road is just west of the future junction of 22X and the future north-south alignment of the SWCRR (Sarcee Trail Extension).[50]
[edit] 162 Avenue interchange
At present 162 Avenue does not connect with either the future SW Ring Road ROW or 37 Street SW. When the SW Ring Road is built, 162 Avenue will be extended west to connect up with the Ring Road. The future interchange will be a partial cloverleaf.[51]
[edit] Fish Creek Boulevard interchange
The existing at grade intersection with 37 Street SW will be replaced with a service interchange. The existing 37 Street roadway from Fish Creek Boulevard north to Anderson road will become part of the SW Ring Road.
[edit] 130 Avenue SW interchange
The existing at grade signalized intersection will be replaced with a service interchange. At the existing intersection, there is a provision for a future road connection to the west heading onto the Tsuu Tina Nation. It is believed this possible access will be retained in the future interchange design. At present, the land west of 37 Street SW at 1130 Avenue is part of the Buffalo Run Golf Course run by the Tsuu Tina Nation.
[edit] Anderson Road interchange
The existing signalized interchange of 37 Street SW and Anderson Road will be replaced with a full systems stacked interchange allowing all freeflow turning accesses from both Anderson Road and the SW Ring Road. Full connection with the Tsuu Tina Nation will be continued at Anderson Road as this access is protected by Treaty.
[edit] West Calgary Ring Road
There is an existing TUC ROW heading south from Highway 1 for the southern extension of Stoney Trail to Highway 8. This road goes on the west side of Canada Olympic Park and east of the existing 101 St. SE road. This section of the ring road proceeds on a different alignment that the segment south of Glenmore Trail. Highway 8 east to Glenmore Trail is also planned to be upgraded to freeway status as part of the SW Ring Road development.
[edit] Highway 8 to Bow Trail
Stoney Trail will have a partial cloverleaf interchange connections with Old Banff Coach Road and Bow Trail.[52]
[edit] Bow Trail to Highway 8
Stoney Trail continues south with a partial diamond interchange connection with 17th Avenue SW connecting up with a partial split T stacked systems interchange with Highway 8.[53] There will be no signal lights on any of the turning ramps at this intersection.
[edit] Interchanges and intersections
All proposed exits reflect current planning.

[edit] As Highway 22X
Presently named Highway 22X, this existing stretch would complete the ring once the southwest leg has been constructed, it will have freeway status once improvements have been completed. Both the SE and SW Ring Road Projects include Highway 22X upgrades. With the SE Ring Road, the 52 St. SE, Deerfoot Trail, Lake Mackenzie/Cranston Boulevard and Sun Valley/Chaparral Boulevard interchanges will be completed. The SW Ring Road project will include the 6 St. SW and James Mckevitt interchanges as well as the Macleod Trail overpass upgrade to a system interchange.
