Deerfoot Trail is the major north/south transportation route through the City of Calgary and is part of the North/South Trade Corridor.
Maintained by Alberta Transportation, Deerfoot Trail is the major north/south transportation route through the City of Calgary and is part of the North/South Trade Corridor. Since the 1970s when most of the road was constructed, Calgary’s population has doubled and traffic volumes continue to increase. Today it is the busiest road in Alberta and serves more than 190,000 vehicles per day.
The Government of Alberta has identified $209.8 million for work on this important highway. Of this, $110.1 million was included in Budget 2019’s 4-year capital plan, and another $99.7 million was identified for future years beyond the 4-year capital plan.
In conjunction with Alberta Transportation, the City of Calgary recently completed the Deerfoot Trail Corridor Study (PDF, 7.8 MB).

The improvements will be delivered using a Public-Private Partnership (P3) contract structure, which requires the successful proponent to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the infrastructure for the next 30 years.
