Eastbound Hwy. 417 off-ramp to close at Bronson Ave. until November
According to a notice, Ontario's Ministry of Transportation has retained contractor Kiewit Dufferin Midtown Partnership (KDMP) to complete improvements to retaining walls, landscaping, drainage, concrete barrier curbs, paving and noise barrier walls along the Queensway.
The Bronson Street closure will begin on Sept. 2 and is expected to reopen on Nov. 28.
A detour map shows drivers will have to get off the highway at Carling and Kirkwood avenues.
It's the latest ramp to close as construction work and improvements continue along the downtown Ottawa stretch of Highway 417 this summer.
The westbound off-ramp at Island Park Drive and the westbound Parkdale Avenue on-ramp remain closed until Oct. 2. The westbound on-ramp at Lyon Street will be closed until November.
The westbound on-ramp from southbound Pinecrest Road, the westbound off-ramp to Richmond Road, the westbound O'Connor Street on-ramp and the eastbound Parkdale Avenue off-ramp are expected to reopen this month.
KDMP says it may be required to implement additional closures on Highway 417 and various adjacent city streets.
'KDMP intends to keep an open communication channel with all residents and affected agencies,' the contractor says.

New highway connecting Wellington to N.S. Highway 102 to open next month
A photo shows the new five-kilometre highway that connects Trunk 2 to Exit 5A of Highway 102 south of Enfield. (Source: Province of Nova Scotia) The Nova Scotia government says a new five-kilometre highway will provide better access from Wellington to the Aerotech Industrial Park and Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The new highway, which connects Trunk 2 to Exit 5A of Highway 102 south of Enfield, is set to open in early September. ADVERTISEMENT The project comes with a price tag of $70 million, with the federal government pitching in $10 million. 'The new Aerotech Connector will make travel safer, better and more efficient for thousands of Nova Scotians every day,' said Public Works Minister Fred Tilley in a news release Thursday. 'This is a significant piece of infrastructure that offers a solution that manages the challenges of growth as we address the needs of the travelling public.' The new highway is built lower than the surrounding homes and is lined with trees in hopes of reducing noise and visibility. It also includes a climbing lane to allow drivers to pass slower-moving vehicles moving uphill. Roundabouts have already been built where the connector joins Highway 102 and at the intersection of Trunk 2 and Sunnylea Road. The government says the location of the connector was chosen to minimize the impact to environmentally-sensitive areas like wetlands. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

Speed traps to be activated in Midland in time for start of school year
A sign warning motorists an automated speed enforcement camera is active is pictured. Speed traps will be activated in time for students to head back to class in a few weeks in Midland, with the aim of reducing dangerous driving habits around schools and in community safety zones. Mayor Bill Gordon advised motorists the 'Coming Soon' signs would soon be swapped out for 'In Use' signage. "We must display these 'in use' signs while the cameras are capturing data," Gordon explained. 'Please practice driving the 40km/hr speed limit.' The town has two cameras located on Yonge Street in front of Mundy's Bay Public School and on William Street in front of Sacred Heart Catholic School. Both will be activated on Sept. 2 and will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, meaning tickets will start to be issued to anyone exceeding the speed limit. The penalties are strictly fines, no demerit points are applied. Tickets are mailed to the vehicle's registered owner.
