Ottawa – Beginning in the evening on Saturday, June 21 Highway 417 will be fully closed in the eastbound direction from Metcalfe Street to the Vanier Parkway and in the westbound direction from Vanier Parkway to Nicholas Street.

Motorists should expect delays. Residents traveling downtown this weekend are reminded to plan ahead and leave early.

Over the weekend, the existing Lees Avenue bridge over Highway 417 will be removed. To be able to safely remove the overpass, Highway 417 will be fully closed in both directions, starting on Saturday June 21, beginning at 6 p.m. to Sunday June 22, at 11 a.m., when a single lane of traffic will be reinstated in both directions. All lanes on Highway 417 in both directions will be reopened by Monday June 23, at 5 a.m.

During the bridge removal, there will be:

  • No access to Highway 417 eastbound from Nicholas Street
  • No access to Highway 417 eastbound from Isabella/Metcalfe streets
  • No access to Highway 417 westbound from Vanier Parkway

Eastbound traffic will be required to exit the Highway 417 no further east than Metcalfe Street and will be detoured via Main Street and Riverside Drive to re-access Highway 417 to continue travelling eastbound.

Westbound traffic will be required to exit the Highway 417 no further west than Vanier Parkway and will be detoured via Riverside Drive and Bronson Avenue to re-access Highway 417 to continue travelling westbound.

Westbound vehicles travelling to Quebec via the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge will follow the marked detour along Vanier Parkway and St Patrick Street to the interprovincial bridges. Eastbound vehicles wishing to travel to Quebec will follow the marked detour via the Nicholas Street exit.

With all of the construction-related activities underway, residents are encouraged to be flexible with commuting times, stagger work hours or use alternative means for travel. The public is asked to consider options such as transit, walking, cycling or carpooling.

The City of Ottawa has tools on ottawa.ca to help motorists and transit users plan their routes and manage their commute including:

OttawaNav – the City’s mobile application for real time construction and traffic information.

City of Ottawa Traffic Report – outlining citywide road closures, traffic restrictions and detours

Travel Planner at octranspo.com – transit users can chart and plan routes

Interactive traffic map – showing construction areas and live traffic cams throughout the city

Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) cameras

Cycling maps and information – detailing bicycle pathways and lanes throughout the city

Further details and other information concerning City road works are available on ottawa.ca.
