Two views looking westerly as the four-lane highway collapses into a
conventional two lane highway. The future westbound carriageway has
been graded well beyond the end of the divided highway in advance
of an additional widening contract that will see Highway 417 extended
further west from Arnprior.

Two easterly views from the White Lake Road overpass. During
construction, when the upper photos were taken, both directions of Highway 417 crossed the Madawaska
River atop of a new high-level bridge that will serve the westbound lanes of
the freeway when highway twinning is completed. The structure that
will become the eastbound lanes, originally carried both directions of
Highway 17. Construction to twin the Arnprior by-pass was staged
differently than most other recent twinning projects. Before the
freeway opened, there were three major at-grade intersections along Highway
17 serving Arnprior. Those intersections were located at: Baskin
Drive, White Lake Road and Division Street. Because all of those
access points to Arnprior were consolidated into a single interchange, it
was imperative that the interchange be open to traffic prior the closure of
the two other intersections. The freeway is completed in the lower
photo.

A series of views looking easterly across the twin Madawaska Bridge
structures. The upper photo shows Highway 17 while it was still a two lane
highway crossing the Madawaska River. When the 2004 photo was taken, the
417 had just been extended to the top of the pictured hill. The middle photos show the construction staging for the completion of Highway
417 around Arnprior. The future westbound structure was placed into
service during 2011. The pre-existing structure (which now carries the
eastbound lanes) was rehabilitated during 2011 and 2012. Construction
on the 417 extension through Arnprior was completed in the autumn of 2012.

A series of three views looking easterly as Highway 417 crosses overtop of
the Madawaska River bridge. Highway 417 crosses the Madawaska River
immediately downstream of the Arnprior dam. The Arnprior dam is one of
a series of dams that control the flow of the Madawaska River and generate
hydro-electric power for the surrounding communities.

Two views of the twin Ottawa Valley Railway bridge structures that carry
Highway 417 overtop of the former railway line. The upper photo faces
to the southeast and highlights the newer westbound span while the lower
photo faces to the southwest and highlights the older eastbound span.
The Ottawa Valley Railway was abandoned during the fall of 2011. The
rail line was abandoned before construction on the grade separations between
the rail line and the new highway were even completed.

series of photos looking west from the Ottawa Road 29 overpass. The

interchange while the 2013 (lower) photos were taken once the four lane
freeway had been extended to beyond Arnprior's west limits.
