Strandherd Drive Extension – Crestway Drive to Prince of Wales Drive
Including adjacent works on Prince of Wales Drive Detailed Design

The Construction Services Development Division has initiated a Detailed Design assignment to extend Strandherd Drive between Crestway Drive and Prince of Wales Drive. This project received environmental clearance through the completion of an Environmental Study Report in 1993 (Rideau River Bridge, Location Feasibility Study, Strandherd Drive/Armstrong Road, January 1993 and an ESR Addendum November 1997). The initial phases of Strandherd Drive construction between Greenbank Road and Crestway Drive were completed in 2000 and 2007.

The current assignment will provide the City with tender documents by June 2009, permitting tendering and construction to proceed in Summer 2009.
Within the noted limits, the following requirements have been identified:

• Extend Strandherd Drive between Crestway Drive and Prince of Wales Drive as a 4-lane divided arterial, including bus lanes.
• Modifications to Prince of Wales Drive north and south of the Strandherd Drive/Prince of Wales Drive Intersection, extending on the south to Woodroffe Avenue.
• Provision of a new traffic control signal system and street lighting system on Strandherd Drive and Prince of Wales Drive.
• Development of a landscape plan related to the new road construction.
• Inclusion of cycling lanes related to the new road construction.
• Closure of Woodroffe Avenue at Prince of Wales Drive, once Strandherd Drive is extended to Prince of Wales Drive.
