Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury today celebrated the reopening of Montreal Road, from Vanier Parkway to St. Laurent Boulevard, with community members, residents and local businesses.

Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Vanier Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury, today joined members of the community, residents and local businesses to celebrate the reopening of Montreal Road to two-way traffic and transit.

The community gathered at Carré de la Francophonie de Vanier on Montreal Road to enjoy live music, fun activities and lunch outdoors. Safer Roads Ottawa participated by educating attendees on cyclists and pedestrians’ safe use of the new and existing infrastructure along Montreal Road.

The reopening of Montreal Road to road and transit operations represents a significant milestone for the community and local businesses. Work on Montreal Road will be complete in spring 2023, with crews completing the final works such as the commissioning of the cycling track east of Lafontaine, intersection works at De L’église and Lafontaine, and remaining landscaping by mid-summer 2023.Two-way traffic will be maintained during the 2023 work and no detours will be required.

Eastbound Montreal Road, from Vanier Parkway to St. Laurent Boulevard, had been closed since April as part of a $64-million investment to revitalize Montreal Road and renew underground infrastructure. The project will be completed in late summer 2023, with the following improvements:

  • Burial of 900 metres of overhead hydro lines
  • Construction of two kilometres of new road, cycle tracks, curbs, sidewalks, watermain, storm and sanitary sewer
  • Installation of Rogers and Bell utilities, streetlights, 11 signalized intersections and overlay of Vanier Parkway between Montreal Road and McArthur Avenue
  • Implementation of the Vanier and Montreal Road Public Art Plan, as well as three public areas (Dupuis Street, Emond Street and Bradley Avenue)
  • Improved transit accommodations, including bus shelter and benches
  • Significant landscaping and streetscaping improvements, including more than 80 additional trees, approximately 1,800 shrubs, 6,000 square metres of paver stones and 11,000 square metres of concrete sidewalk

The last two years have been incredibly tough for everyone, and I know this is an exciting day for the entire community.”
