A major east end highway closure begins on the evening of May 6, and is expected to last through the weekend meaning commuters will have to find alternative routes.

The City of Ottawa announced that a section of Highway 174 will be closed in both directions between Blair Road and Montreal Road beginning at 8 p.m. on May 6 until 6:30 a.m. on Monday, May 9.

The closure allows construction crews to work on stage two of the light rail transit (LRT) project from Blair Station to Trim Road.
