OTTAWA – There are more closures to keep in mind as the Highway 417 expansion project continues.

The eastbound on-ramp at Lees Avenue is now closed and will remain shut down until 2018. Starting Friday, the eastbound Nicholas on-ramp will be down to one lane until the fall of 2015.

The eastbound Vanier Parkway off-ramp will be closed until Saturday and then reduced to one lane until the summer of 2015.

The project will widen the 417 in both directions between Nicholas and the split and will be complete by the fall of 2015.
