Ottawa – With the Back to School and Back to Work season approaching, residents are reminded to be mindful of construction activities underway across the city.
While major projects like the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, Hunt Club Road extension and Baseline Road resurfacing project have all been completed, work will continue on major projects such as the Highway 417 widening, Orléans watermain link and the Sussex Drive rehabilitation project.
Some projects will result in significant traffic impacts, such as the Rapid Replacement of the Lees Avenue 417 Overpass on the weekend of September 6th and the Vanier Parkway 417 Overpass on the weekend of October 4th.
The City will continue to implement mitigation measures to help minimize traffic impacts, such as enhanced monitoring, strategic timing of construction projects, working off-peak when possible, offering increased rush-hour bus trips to and from the east end and providing advanced notification with variable messaging signs. However, residents are encouraged to continue planning routes in advance, stagger work hours, car pool, take advantage of transit and explore biking or walking (also combined with transit).
The City of Ottawa has tools on ottawa.ca to help commuters plan their routes, including:
Additionally:
Constant and accurate transit and traffic information will be made available at ottawa.ca, on Twitter and through the media.
