OTTAWA – Expect plenty of traffic headaches in all corners of the city this summer as the region’s second season is in full swing.
The City of Ottawa announced a number of major construction and renewal projects on Friday, including the work to widen the 417 from Nicholas to the 417/174 split.
Work is expected to begin on the highway by the end of the month and will include lane reductions on the 174 from Blair Rd. to St. Laurent Blvd.
$600-million worth of projects are planned, including work on the inter-provincial bridges, resurfacing for Carling, and the Blackburn bypass, as well as work on the Confederation Line for the O-train.
Updates, and traffic information will be posted on the city’s website, and on their twitter account. More information is also available by calling 311.
