Glenmore Trail

Glenmore Trail proceeds east as an eight-lane freeway with a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph), to a diamond interchange at 37 Street SW / Grey Eagle Boulevard.

This provides access to the Grey Eagle Resort and Casino, located in and operated by the Tsuu T'ina First Nation on the site of a former military barrack.

[4] Beginning in 2005, the causeway carrying Glenmore Trail over the reservoir was extensively upgraded as part of a $57 million project that was completed in 2008.

[9] East of Deerfoot Trail, the freeway curves to the southeast and traffic levels decrease by approximately one half, to less than 70,000 vehicles per weekday in 2015.

[10] East of the river, Glenmore Trail passes between the residential areas of Ogden and Riverbend before a partial cloverleaf interchange at 18 Street SE.

The four-lane freeway continues east over the CP Rail mainline and a diamond interchange with Ogden Road / 24 Street SE.

In 2005, construction of the $170 million complex interchange between Macleod Trail and 14 Street SW was a massive undertaking, at the time the largest road project in the history of Calgary.

[18] In 2010, an interchange with two roundabouts opened at Glenmore's intersection with 37 Street SW.[19] The bridge was built to potentially be reused, depending on Alberta's final plans for construction of the southwest portion of the Stoney Trail ring road.

In 2015, work began on a $125 million project to construct a diamond interchange at Glenmore Trail and Ogden Road SE as well as a bridge over the CP Rail mainline, replaced the level railway crossing and signalized intersection, and opened in July 2017.

The City of Calgary has long term plans to make it a full freeway but the required interchanges remain unfunded.

[26] Ultimately, a large cloverstack interchange is planned with north-west and east-north flyovers to provide free-flowing access to and from Deerfoot Trail, but it will require acquisition of land from adjacent properties.
