Your Deerfoot commute may be hitting a hitch for years to come.

Even though blue prints are written up to widen Deerfoot Trail over Glenmore, construction probably won't begin for a few more years.

The project was not included on the list of about 150 under-takings deemed funding priorities for this year.

Alberta Transportation spokesman Trent Bancarz tells the Calgary Sun, the earliest the job could be funded is 2011.

The first phase of the Deerfoot project will cost about $25-million.
