How has Deerfoot Trail be improved in this area?
Safety and traffic flow will be improved by adjusting the flow of northbound weaving traffic between 32 Avenue NE and 16 Avenue NE with an auxiliary lane connecting the two ramps.
Capacity in this area will be increased by the addition of a fourth continuous lane in each direction from Memorial Drive to 32 Avenue NE.
Cross sections are only representative of the location shown on the plan view. Dimensions may vary along the corridor as the ramps are not necessarily parallel with section lines.
