Calgary Safelink Partners, a Joint Venture between Carmacks Enterprises Ltd., Graham Infrastructure LP, and VINCI Infrastructure Canada, was building a portion of the West Calgary Ring Road from Highway 8 to Old Banff Coach Road. The construction activity consisted of approximately five kilometres of a new six- and eight-lane divided freeway, plus additional basic and auxiliary lanes, and includes systems interchange at Stoney Trail and Highway 8 and a partial service interchange at Stoney Trail and 17th Avenue SW.
