Route Details
Highway 417 starts near Arnprior, as a continuation of Highway 17. From the Highway 17 interchange, Highway 417 goes southeast through 3 interchanges with minor roads to an interchange with Highway 7, which is an alternate route of the Trans-Canada Highway. It then goes northeast as Queensway through 4 interchanges, as well as the town of Kanata, to an interchange with Highway 416, which connects with Highway 401 in the south. It is just a short drive from here to the city of Ottawa, the country's capital!
