I really do wish that a diamond at Birds Hill Road was part of this, though. 59 is getting really congested and it's to the point where that intersection and Garven Road are pretty treacherous.

And you have a fair point on the Alberta ring roads. I wonder how many crews were working on the ring road project at the same time. In that, one company built this interchange and associated works, another company did the next one, etc. All going on at the same time.
I also agree about the PR 202 interchange. For the scale and cost of this project, by the time you factor in the intersection signals, concrete, etc.; is another $5-10M for the bridge really that much more? I also think headmaster should get a diamond. Cost shared between the City and Province. If I had to choose, I'd pick Headmaster over 202.
