OTTAWA Motorists are being warned to plan a new route when a major on-ramp to the Queensway will be closed for at least eight months. The city of Ottawa says starting March 1, the on-ramp from Pinecrest Road northbound to the westbound lanes of Hwy. 417 will be closed for construction of Stage 2 of the Light Rail Transit line. The road will remain closed until November. The Stage 2 O-Train west extension will run in a trench on the north side of Highway 417, travelling underneath Pinecrest and Moodie Drive. Signed detours will be in place through the construction work. Cycling and pedestrian routes along Pinecrest Road will remain open.
