General Road and Highway Discussion

The next closest one would be the Wellington St one just before it, which isn't all that bad of a detour. And before that, the Lancaster one will take you staright downtown as well. The issue I guess is more for those looking to go East of 85, cause they'd have to go all the way along Bingemans Centre.

Yeah, I've been adjusting routes for the last week and quickly found only 2-3 cars can make a left per per light at Wellington onto Lancaster (towards Victoria) during peak hours.  Multiply that by ~20 cars in the queue and you get the idea.  If there is a train crossing Lancaster it's even more backed up (happens more than I'd expected).    For me it actually works out better to keep going southbound to Ottawa exit, cross the bridge, get back on Northbound 85, and get off at the Bruce street exit to go east on Victoria (or wherever else you'd normally go if getting off at the normal Edna exit).  When the rest of the Wellington stuff is done it should be non-issue. 

On the bright side they have some heavy equipment by the Saab dealership and are working away.
