    Default Going thru crowchild this afternoon..how bad?

    How bad is the single lane southbound?

    Have to head to work this afternoon. Just want an idea to plan my head start.

    It was pretty awful yesterday. Use the traffic feature on google maps to get a good idea of how bad it will be. I'd consider taking 33rd/Richmond to Sarcee Road (not Sarcee trail) or 37th street. Can hop back on Crowchild at 50th ave (Mt Royal Gate).

    Is it just northbound that's affected? Gotta head to Chinook from Tuscany in an hour

    Both directions yesterday. They're knocking down the overpass.

    ^ looks like jut south of Richmond road.

    I NEVER travel anywhere in the city without checking Google traffic first ..... radio = useless and the city boards of travel times dont help much when you're already parked in it.

    Might as well add EB Glenmore heading to the DF NB/SB ramps as well - they are down to 1 lane there and Gmaps shows a parking lot.

    I would just avoid crowchild completely and save yourself the headache. Either take sarcee around to glenmore or take elbow or macleod. Pretty simple.

    Both north and south are affected. http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-...wchild-closure

    Drove through that shit yesterday. Backed up almost to Macleod. Got to the DF turnoff and it was 3 guys and a foreman.

    I'd bet anything it was a lump sum bid.

    Ended up getting off at 33ave and taking Sarcee Rd and 37 st to Glenmore.

    But when I was going home, I just took the 1 SB lane of crowchild since it was late at night anyhow.

    Looks like a pretty epic AutoX course.

    Two lane traffic circles - MacKenzie Towne and another on the south side of Ramsay.

    Was that your blue Merc in the animation? It looked like it was cornering pretty hard.

    As someone who uses this interchange regularly, I'm looking forward to it.

    LOL that Mackenzie town one is an absolute nightmare because of the tards down there.

    The one on Dartmouth Road is actually designed AND marked well and people go through that without a hitch most times. But again there usually isn't MUCH for traffic there.

    The MT one is bad because of south side white boy idiots. The Flanders ones should be better just because of less morons.
