Something like southbound traffic uses Blackfoot Trail and northbound traffic takes Barlow.

That would never happen. Stoney is too far from Deerfoot to make it a viable alternative for many trips in the city. Blackfoot and Barlow are too important to the overall city road network to be fundamentally changing their flow. They have too many accesses and businesses along them to be one-way as well - the business owners would undoubtedly lose customers during that kind of detour.
They have successfully done lots of work on Deerfoot without closing it, and will continue to do so in the future.
