The commute to downtown Ottawa is about to get a lot more difficult for east end commuters as the city prepares to reduce westbound traffic on Hwy. 174 to one lane from Blair Road to the split starting this Saturday.

The lane closure is expected to remain in effect for approximately two weeks while work is being done as part of the Hwy. 417 expansion project.

The city is encouraging commuters to use OC Transpo's Express service to get to and from work, which won't be effected by the lane closure.
