Commuters in Valley Ridge and Crestmont were frustrated Tuesday morning by continuing construction work on the Calgary west ring road that caused major traffic delays during both the morning and evening commutes.

"This is awful," said commuter Sam Babatunde. "Really terrible. We left at 8 o'clock in the morning. We could be late to work now."

Vehicles were backed up for close to half an hour Tuesday morning, just to gain access to the TransCanada Hwy. or northbound Stoney Trail.
