'Hunt Club Road' also known as '
Ottawa Road #32', is a major east-west route in
Ottawa,
Ontario,
Canada. Hunt Club originally ran from
Albion Road to
Riverside Drive, but was extended east to
Hawthorne Road in the late 1980s. It was further extended across the
Rideau River and then eventually to the southern edge of the suburbs to
Richmond Road by the late 1990s. There are plans to extend it east to meet up with
Highway 417 near
Ramsayville.
Most of Hunt Club is a four-lane divided principal arterial road with few businesses and limited access (particularly between just west of
Merivale Road and
Highway 416 where it is an at-grade urban expressway). The speed limit on most sections is 80 km/h (50 mph) except in the South Keys area, where it is 60 km/h (40 mph).
The Michael J.E. Sheflin bridge carries Hunt Club Road over the
Rideau River between Prince of Wales Drive (former
Highway 16) and
Riverside Drive. The bridge has just undergone a widening over the summer of 2006, extending the left turn lanes in both directions over the full length of the bridge to alleviate congestion.
In the future, the City's Transportation Master Plan includes widening the Hunt Club Road to six lanes between
Highway 416 and
Bank Street.
On Hunt Club, one may find
Pine Grove Park, and the
Stoney Swamp Conservation Area.
