This will extend from Lott Creek Boulevard on Glenmore Trail/Highway 8 south to Macleod Trail (Highway 2A) and is approximately 21 kilometres long. The project will also include approximately 10 kilometres of connector road upgrades.
In June 2020, the provincial government announced the project had reached 80 per cent completion. In October, a 12-kilometre portion of the Southwest Calgary Ring Road, from Sarcee Trail to Fish Creek Boulevard, opened to traffic
