Calgary: Alberta's transportation pastor says he trusts it will be days, not weeks, soon after the southeast area of Calgary's ring street opens.

On Tuesday, Ric Mciver said he has assessed the opening of the major transportation passage with his staff.

"There are various things to be carried out," he said Mcdougall Centre on Tuesday. "There's clearing in a few territories that must be carried out, there's line painting in a few regions that must be carried out, there's guardrails that must be set up, there's a few signs that must be set up and, obviously, we need to do the last security review.

"We can't let the street open until its both complete and safe."

The 25-kilometre, $769-million extend of commonplace road was slated to open October 1, however the builder ran into issues interfacing off-slopes to Deerfoot Trail. It was then anticipated that will open Tuesday, however again deferred.

Chinook Roads Partnership, the development consortium, is bringing about $70,000 in fines every day the way doesn't open.

"Fifteen days into the month, we are in excess of a million dollars that the builder is not set to get," said Mciver, noting he needs that is cause for the organization to get the street fulfilled sooner as opposed to later.

The point when asked if it might be days or weeks or even months, he didn't have a firm reply.

"I surely trust days," he said. “I am searching for that shining day when the builder says tomorrow is the day.”
