Albion Road (Ottawa)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albion Road (Ottawa Road #25) is an important north-south road in the southern part of Ottawa, Canada. The street begins in the north as Albion Road North, at Walkley Road.
It runs only a short distance as a local road before being interrupted by the railway tracks. South of the rail lines Albion Road proper begins. At first a small street running through a residential area, it become an arterial road at Hunt Club Road and Bank Street.
It continues to run south, into the rural areas of Ottawa, as a minor arterial road, and it also forms the eastern boundary of Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. Albion Road continues through the rural part of Ottawa, ending at Mitch Owens Road, just northwest of Greely, Ontario.
At the intersection of Lester Road, motorists coming from the south cannot continue north on Albion towards residential areas. Many motorists were detoured towards Bank Street or the Airport Parkway. This detour was controversial according to many commuters from the south.
