Ottawa – The spring and summer months will see an increase in construction-related activity across the city – including an unprecedented $51-million investment towards the road surfacing program.
The planned road resurfacing work will prepare roadways for increased traffic flow stemming from the Confederation Line construction. It is also timely in strategically addressing the large incidents of potholes on Ottawa roadways, which has become a familiar story of this winter’s toll on the roads in many Canadian and northern U.S. cities.
As part of the Confederation Line construction, the widening of Highway 417 will be ongoing over the spring and summer months. Other construction projects will begin this spring or underway, which include sewer and watermain work, infrastructure improvements, and cycling and pedestrian facilities.
Ottawa residents will also see some results of the city’s transformation, with the expected fall completion of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge project and the Hunt Club extension project.
Again this year, construction will result in traffic delays. However, the City has put mitigation measures into place to help minimize traffic impacts – including enhanced monitoring, strategic timing of construction projects, off-peak work, where possible, increased rush-hour bus trips to and from the city’s east end, improved coordination with other partners, and advanced notifications on the variable messaging signs.
Ottawa residents are commended for their efforts and adjustments over the past year to help reduce traffic congestion. Again this spring and summer, residents are reminded to plan routes in advance, consider staggered work hours, car pooling, to take advantage of transit, and explore biking or walking (also combined with transit).
The City of Ottawa has tools on ottawa.ca to help motorists and transit users plan their routes and manage their commute, including:
