Richmond Road (Ontario)
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, a division point moved west a few blocks from Western Avenue, the historical township boundary, in 2005. 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 appears to turn into Robertson Road, but continues southbound from that intersection 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 passes the communities of Bridlewood and Fallowfield before intersecting with Fallowfield Road. 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. Beyond Perth, this road becomes Franktown Road, then reverts to the name Richmond Road in Lanark County until its end in Franktown. In Lanark County, the road is known as Lanark County 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 historical settlement road that stretches from Kingston, Ontario to Cumberland Village.
