Don't hold your breath. It seems to me that once a project is 'finished' and they have moved on to the next then it takes forever to come back and do something else. It looks better to the voters when you are building something 'new' rather than jsut adding to something that already exists. There is only so much cash for the government to spend, and they have committed to:

1. SE AHD - nearing completion
2. NW AHD - just announced so at least 2-3 years from completion
3. NW Stoney Trail (Calgary) - still under construction
4. NE Stoney Trail - just started.

After that they will likely finish the last portion of AHD in Edmonton, do the SE Stoney Trail in Calgary and possibly the SW portion as well if they can ever resolve the land issue with the Tsu Tina Reserve.

Once those are all finished you MIGHT see them come back and finish the fuckups on SW AHD and NW Stoney Trail (same issues with lights instead of interchanges). I would say we are 7-10 years minimum to this point.
