The City of Calgary recognizes the closure of Rocky Ridge Road will affect the traffic flowing through the communities of Rocky Ridge and Royal Oak. As a result of traffic analysis the City has identified five major and two minor intersections that will need to be improved.
On its website the City has promised the intersection improvements will completed prior to the road closure in June. Various sources have stated work will not be able to start on any improvements requiring excavation until after the Victoria Day long weekend due to the frost.
Unfortunately, one can not get any information as to when work on these improvements will start and calls to the City have not been returned.
