The city of Ottawa will begin fixing Highway 174 from Montreal Road to the split earlier than expected.

Ottawa Councillor Stephen Blais says repairs will begin in mid to late July and will continue until November.

Crews will fix more than 200 road joints with asphalt and fully resurface the road.

Work will be done in the evening and on weekends to minimize traffic disruptions.

Ten million dollars has been earmarked for the project.
