417 Construction Crisis Hits Glabar Park

from Ottawa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Traffic on Highway 417 near Glabar Park has turned into a nightmare, with backups up to ten times longer since lane reductions began—caused by construction on the center median and a new sign foundation disrupted by the LRT tunnel. Residents are stuck with longer commutes, some even changing how they get kids to school to avoid dangerous intersections. Safety is a major concern, especially after school, as drivers ignore signs and parents struggle to reach schools. The city’s quick fixes—like a bus-only lane, extra police, and adjusted signals—are helping a little, but locals demand real solutions like crossing guards. Work is speeding up to finish by July 6th, with extended hours and suggested detours to ease the chaos. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
