How bad is it? (calfrobe)

[QuasarCav]

Well guys, i'm sure alot of us have to travel down the shitshow known a calfrobe bridge.

No it is pretty bad on a clear day with all three lanes going.

So how is it now? I have to take it tonight and I was wondering If i should just take barlow or blackfoot?

i took it this morning and it was fine
but the news said it's gonna be really bad during rush hour

Yesterday afternoon around 5pm I went over the bridge southbound.

It was slow, but still moving.

Much better than the Memorial Bridge repairs that were done last summer.

Okay, so i'm not going to lose it if I have to take it home.

At least there is movement, alot better than stop and go IMO

Going Southbound, Its slower, added maybe 10 min, Nothing huge to worry about.

How many lanes are closed down? Is it just one lane in each direction?

[QuasarCav]

I think it is just one going south

They have two lanes closed, but they took the remaining lane and the shoulder (left lane and shoulder) and turned it into two narrow lanes. It moves it's just slow, but if you are a paniced driver who doesn't like close calls then take a different route. The lanes are VERY narrow, I almost had a horse trailer hit me yesterday, it's just not wide enough for anything that isn't a car or light truck to fit through.

yea my malibu barely fits threw there... if u dont mind a squeeze go for it...i think it only adds about 3 minutes to ure travel time when their isint much traffic, but i wouldnt know about in rush hour....

I'm going to leave work early to try and cut down on wait time. I hope i'm the only one.

Any idea when this will be finished?

[Jynx]

no idea about finish time, i would think at least a few weeks tho, if not more...

I heard they're doing the southbound lanes over the Calf Rope and that should be done by about mid to end June. After that they're gonna go over to the northbond lanes of Calf Rope and do those bad boys.

Yup end of June !!!

I just heard on the radio they might close down deerfoot for a while because of the storm:drama:

They did... but only around Country Hills Blvd

Took it last night. When you are actually on the bridge it is okay. Getting on there is a different story.

Idiots, there are signs for like 20 blocks. why do you have to wait until the last moment to move out of the left lane? you know it's closing, there are no cars in it and every other lane is packed!
