I agree - and have also wondered if the new Deerfoot bridge over Glenmore eliminates the double pier and just has a single center pier to allow Glenmore to be widened beyond 2 lanes each direction when the existing bridge is demolished - I sure hope so.

Is the existing be demolished?

Is the existing be demolished?

Unsure. Could divert traffic onto the new and then demolish the existing and rebuild, or build another new bridge to the west of the existing and then demolish the existing. If it isn't demolished, Glenmore will still be 2 lanes each way.

Not destroying previous bridge( may rehab). End of the day I believe between new and old bridge there will be 3 lanes each direction plus dedicated on off lanes on both sides

Not now but that is the longer term plan.

Glenmore cannot be widened to three lanes each direction under the existing bridge.
