Airport Parkway (Ottawa)

|
Airport Parkway is an expressway in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It runs from the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport to Heron Road where it turns into Bronson Avenue.
Airport Parkway is a "super-2" expressway for most of its length, and is home to one of Ontario's only two SPUI's at its Hunt Club Road exit. The speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph) for its entire length. There has been some discussing in twinning it to a four-lane freeway, although those discussions have stalled due to local controversy.
Until 1997, Airport Parkway was maintained by the federal government of Canada under the jurisdiction of the National Capital Commission. Currently it's also known as Ottawa Road 79.
