Russell Road (Ontario)
Russell Road is a road in Eastern Ontario, Canada.
Russell Road originally ran from Montreal Road in Ottawa along the east bank of the Rideau River and then bent east where Tremblay Road is now, and then south and east until the border of Clarence Township, Ontario (now the city of Clarence-Rockland) and the Township of Alfred and Plantagenet.
However, three major intersection modifications have cut the road into 4 parts, and another shortened the Road substantially, making Russell Road arguably the most altered Road in Ottawa's history. Currently the Road begins at Industrial Avenue on the outskirts of the Riverview neighbourhood and runs southeast before ending at Smyth Road. (the road originally past Industrial Avenue to the north then jogged west at about where Tremblay Road is now, then north again along where North River Road is today and ended at Montreal Road). The road begins again near the Elmvale Shopping Centre, from Saint Laurent Boulevard, and runs south until it turns into Hawthorne Road. To keep going on Russell, one must make a left turn.
