The Trans-Canada Highway continues west through the Ottawa Valley along Highway 17. Click here for Highway 17 Images.
City of Ottawa	This pictures showcases the transition between a divided freeway, and a conventional 2-lane highway. Future western Highway 417 extensions will have to content with a long valley crossing with a new high level bridge over the Madawaska River. The MTO is currently in the detailed design stage for extending Highway 417 through Arnprior. Click here to continue westerly through the Ottawa Valley along Highway 17.

City of Ottwawa	This picture shows a broader view of the previous picture. The parclo A-2 format Ottawa Road 29 interchange is the most westerly interchange on Highway 417. Ottawa Road 29 is one of the main roads into Arnprior from Ottawa. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 60kb.
City of Ottawa	Highway 417 looking east from the Ottawa Road 29 overpass. As can be seen in the picture. The WB (left) carriageway only has one driving lane in it. The WB 417 carriageway narrows to 1 lane, near Galetta Sideroad. This premature lane ending is reportedly to ease the transition between the freeway and its non-divided continuation as Highway 17. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 60kb.
City of Ottawa	Highway 417 looking west from the Galetta Road overpass in northeast Ottawa. Galetta Road is located roughly at kilometre 176. Highway 417 features an intermittent treed median from Galetta Sideroad, easterly to Ottawa Road 29. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 70kb.

City of Ottawa	Looking west along Highway 417 from the Kinburn Sideroad. In the distance of this photo, the twin Mississippi River bridges can be seen. These structures were completed in 2002, (two years prior to Highway 417's opening), and represented a major engineering achievement. The structure is located atop a large wetland and floodplain, in an area with notably poor soil quality. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 50kb.

City of Ottawa	Highway 417 looking west from Panmure Road in Ottawa. Panmure Road marks the beginning of the recently completed (September 2004) Highway 417 extension to Arnprior. The clearing of trees that can be seen in the centre of the image marks the old Highway 17 alignment that was cut in favour of the new Highway 417 freeway. Highway 417 was built on an entirely new alignment from Panmure Road to Arnprior, unlike previous freeway extensions from Highway 7 to Panmure Road. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 50kb.
City of Ottawa	Looking east towards Ottawa from the Panmure Drive overpass. Before September 2004, Panmure Drive was the last interchange along Highway 417 before it narrowed from 4- to 2-lanes, becoming Highway 17. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 55kb.

City of Ottawa	Looking east along Highway 417 from the Vaughan Sideroad overpass. Notice the slight meander of the left (westbound) carriageway in the photo. This carriageway was constructed in the mid 1960s and (quite surprisingly) was not reconstructed when the highway was twinned in the late-1990s. Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 45kb.

City of Ottawa	The overhead assembly eastbound at the Highway 7/417 split in Kanata. This gantry is still signed using an older Ontario signage style. This sign itself is a relic from before the 417 actually went past Highway 7. These older style sings are becoming quite rare, and likely will soon be totally removed from Ontario's freeways.

City of Ottawa	Highway 417 looking west from Pinecrest Road/Greenbank Drive. This is a fairly typical looking cross-section of Highway 417 through western Ottawa. Picture taken: October 22nd, 2004. Size: 40kb.

City of Ottawa	Exit signage for St Laurent Boulevard along Highway 417. This overhead sign also provides the first EB mention of Highway 17's (former) eastern continuation through Orleans. As evident from the sign, Highway 17 splits from the left hand side of the 417, leaving the 417 with two through lanes for the remainder of the highways length. Picture taken: October 22nd, 2004. Size: 40kb.
City of Ottawa	Diagramic sign for the eastbound split of Highway 17/417 split. Ottawa Road 174 (Former Highway 17) is a busy 4-lane freeway from Ottawa easterly into Orléans. Picture taken: October 22nd, 2004. Size: 40kb.
City of Ottawa	Eastbound Highway 417 sign approaching the Highway 17/417 split in the eastern part of Ottawa. This is a very unfortunate situation, as despite being bypassed by Highway 417 to the south, Highway 17 was certainly provincially significant east of the city, particularly the 4-lane freeway section through Orléans.

City of Ottawa	Highway 417 driving west through the Highway 17/417 interchange. The signs that are shown in this picture are supported by a odd and unique sign gantry. These 'round-tube-truss' gantries are found only on the 417 in the east end of Ottawa. Click here for Highway 17 Images (Coming Soon!). Picture taken: October 23rd, 2004. Size: 40kb.

City of Ottawa	Looking easterly from the Innes Road overpass. The MTO is currently in the detailed design phase to widen this suburban stretch of Highway 417 from 4- to 6-lanes.
