Due to some major road closures (ex. Hwy 417), we've posted the best route for getting downtown from Hwy 416.

From HWY 416

Merge onto Hwy 417 East (Stay in the right lane, you'll exit very shortly)

1. Take Exit 129 Pinecrest / Greenbank
2. Turn Left at the lights to go North on Pinecrest
3. Turn Right at Richmond Rd.
4. Turn Right on to Carling (Again, stay in the right lane)
5. Turn Right onto the Ottawa River Parkway (also marked by a red maple leaf)
6. Follow the Ottawa River Parkway past the Canadian War Museum (continue on and stay right)
7. Stay right at Portage Bridge (this turns in to Wellington St.)
8. Continue past Parliament Hill (Allyssa's office is in the first tower to the left of the Peace Tower on the top floor)
9. Now, eyes back on the road cause you're turning right on Elgin St.
10. The NAC is on the left,
11. You can park under the NAC for $10 / day, but you do NOT have in/out privileges, if you leave, you'll have to pay again when you come back.

Check the "Parking" link for other places to park.

For in / out privileges (if you are going to leave and come back) you can park under the Milestones building
Start heading North on Sussex St. from Wellington St.
Stay in the Left lane, the indoor parking garage is a very quick left and costs $12.50 for the day (valid to 4AM)
