Leitrim Road

Last updated

Leitrim Road ( Ottawa Road #14) is an east-west road in Ottawa's south end. It connects River Road in the West, passes south of the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and continues east to Russell Road. Leitrim briefly cuts off when one reaches Ramsayville Road; one must briefly drive on the latter road before turning back on Leitrim Road.

This road is mostly a rural route, although a growing housing development in the future may give the road a more residential meaning between River Road and Limebank Road. Most of the road has two lanes and a speed-limit of 80 km/h (50 mph).
