Richmond Road (Ottawa)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richmond Road is a major road in Ottawa, Ontario.

Richmond Road begins as a western continuation of Wellington Street beyond the intersection at Island Park Drive. It serves as the primary road for Westboro. Continuing westward, the road passes by Ottawa landmarks such as the Bayshore Shopping Centre and Queensway-Carleton Hospital before reaching Bells Corners. In the community, Richmond Road turns into Robertson Road, and Richmond Road continues southbound from an intersection, but as a mostly residential street. Richmond Road reappears as the continuation of southbound Moodie Drive, leaving Bells Corners and running through the Greenbelt. Beyond the Greenbelt, Richmond Road intersects with Fallowfield Road near the village of Fallowfield. Continuing southward, the road passes the community of Twin Elm and follows the Jock River to Eagleson Road and the village of Richmond. At Eagleson, Richmond Road continues westward as Perth Street, or Ottawa Road #10.

Richmond is known as Ottawa Road #59 from Fallowfield Road until Moodie Drive, and is known as Ottawa Road #36 from Robertson Road until Island Park Drive. Richmond Road is part of a series of names for a road that stretches from Kingston, Ontario to Cumberland Village
