    People do the exact same thing in Vancouver through the Richmond tunnel too.

    The guy in the 350Z is my boyfriend, his car is hardly loud haha.

    Ndhal, you seemed far more excited in your video than we were in the car hahah.
    We just got a good laugh out of it, who cares!!

    The tunnel is dissapointing though. What dash cam do you have ndhal?

    Fair enough. Looks textured in the photo I guess.

    No, it's so a bunch of NE'ers can cut 5 minutes off the commute time to their jobs at the airport... eventually... whenever the city decides to extend airport trail to Metis

    Not me, not my video, saw it on the Calgary Herald website. I was commenting on how excited the driver of the dash cam car sounded. I assumed that the three cars knew each other as they all turned around and went back into the tunnel together.

    I work by Speeders. So I take Aero Drive up and around the North side of the Airport, hook up with Airport Trail eastbound, then before the tunnel, North up Barlow, East on Country Hills BV, then back down south on either 36th St or Metis before continuing back east onto 80th Ave towards home.

    I time it today and it took 13 minutes with the new tunnel along with waiting for red at 2 intersections. If I hit green on the 2 controlled intersections on my commute, it should take me 10 minutes. Before it normally took me a solid 17-18 minutes to commute one way. Calculated on google, I save 4.6KMs

    Am I the only one shocked that this took way to long to build that measly tunnel?

    Wtf? Just keep the old road. What was wrong with that

    People in Calgary don't know how to merge/yield/turn...I would hate to see what would happen if they were driving down a taxiway...

    Tunnel was done quite awhile ago. They just had to catch up on the doubling of the lanes on 36th before opening it up.
