Hunt Club Road (Ottawa)
Most of Hunt Club Road is a four-lane divided principal arterial road with limited access, particularly between just west of Merivale Road and Highway 416 where it is an at-grade urban expressway. The section east of Merivale, originally a tank farm, has transformed into a major big-box retail area.
The speed limit on most sections is 80 km/h (50 mph) except in the South Keys area, where it is 60 km/h (37 mph).
The Michael J.E. Sheflin Bridge, better known as the Hunt Club Bridge, carries the road over the Rideau River between Prince of Wales Drive (former Highway 16) and Riverside Drive. The bridge was widened over the summer of 2006, extending the left turn lanes in both directions over the full length of the bridge to alleviate congestion.
The City's Transportation Master Plan includes the widening of the road to six lanes between Highway 416 and Bank Street.
Along the road, one may find Pine Grove Park, and the Stoney Swamp Conservation Area.
