The Ontario government has put out a call for proposals to design the widening of Highway 17 from two lanes to four lanes between the Town of Renfrew and Arnprior.
“As President Trump’s tariffs continue to target families and businesses, it has never been more important to invest in the transportation infrastructure that will strengthen our province for years to come,” Ric Bresee, parliamentary assistant to the minister of transportation, said in a news release. “Expanding Hwy. 17 will secure a vital trade corridor, fight gridlock and support good-paying jobs during construction.”
The province intends to twin 22.5 kilometres of Hwy. 17 from Scheel Drive near Arnprior to three kilometres west of Bruce Street near the Town of Renfrew. The first phase of this project was completed in November 2023 when the province finished building a new bridge and interchange on Hwy. 17 and Calabogie Road.
