Westerly view from Highway 138. As of writing this in 2010, Highway 417 is in pretty terrible condition for about 15km in the vicinity of the Highway 138 interchange.

Easterly view from the Ste-Catherine Street overpass. Highway 417 sits atop
the Prescott and Russell / Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Boundary for a
considerable length. Identifying proper road names from the freeway is
often a challenge due to the lack of coordination between P & R, and S, D &
G Counties. For example, Ste-Catherine Street is P & R County Road 9,
while it is S, D & G County Road 20. Further, it is known as Highland
Road in Glengarry. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Westerly view from the Greenfield Road interchange. As is evident in
the photo, Highway 417 is surfaced in concrete from west of the Greenfield
Road interchange to east of Highway 34. The concrete was placed in
2004/2005 during somewhat of a renascence period of concrete highway
construction across Ontario. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Easterly view from Greenfield Road. The Greenfield Road overpass was
rehabilitated during the 2010 construction season, hence the construction
barrels along side the highway in the photo. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Westbound signage for the McCrimmon Road interchange. Freeway signage
in the eastern part of the province differs slightly from the signage
appearing in other areas. Note that the county road number is shown
beside the control city rather than with the proper road name.
Presumably this is done to reduce the overall size of the sign, however
drivers wouldn't encounter a sign like this in other areas of the province. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

| Champlain / North
Glengarry Boundary Prescott & Russell / Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Boundary |
Advanced signage for the McCrimmon Road interchange. Note that a
distance to the interchange is not indicated on this freeway sign.
This omission is fairly common along guide signs in the Ottawa area -- I
have no idea why the 1km (or whatever the distance may in fact be) would be
omitted from an advanced sign. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Easterly view form the Highway 34 overpass. As the distance sign
visible in the photo indicates, it is still almost 100km from Highway 34
into Montreal. The drive down Highway 417 between Ottawa and Montreal
looks much shorter on paper than it is in real life. Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Opposing view from the Dalkeith Road overpass. Notice the irregular
spacing of the expansion joints in the concrete pavement. The MTO
specifies random joint spacing in the in the slab. Slabs vary in
length's of 3.7, 4.5, 4.0, 4.3 meters; Random joint spacings have been
successfully used in plain undoweled pavements to minimize resonant vehicle
responses (information from
FHWA). Photo taken: May 24th, 2010. |

Advanced signage at the ramp to Old Highway 17. Unlike the turn-off sign,
this sign dates from before Highway 17 was transferred to the county. The
former Highway 17 crown has been overlaid with a County Road 17 marker. Photo taken: June 18th, 2013. |

the Québec border. The reassurance marker pictured in the photo is the

Two views looking easterly from the Prescott and Russell Road 14 overpass
towards the Québec border. The upper photo shows an overall shot of
the eastern terminus of Highway 417 as it enters Québec to become Autoroute
40. The lower photo shows in detail the transition between Ontario
highway design standards and those of Québec. Notice the different
colour and spacing of the line striping for example. An astute
observer will also notice that Autoroute 40 has narrower lanes than Highway
417. Since Autoroute 40 was construction, MTQ (the Quebec Ministry of
Transportation) has widened its freeway lane standard, however Autoroute 40
has yet to be retrofitted. Photos taken: July 24th, 2011. |
