By Doug Hempstead Verified| CBC Ottawa Verified This weekend's closure of a downtown section of the 417 features one of the most complicated detours we've seen for a so-called rapid bridge replacement so far. Crews have already constructed a brand new Percy Street bridge that's sat completed on the north side of the Trans-Canada Highway since the summer, waiting to be swapped out for the old one. The project has been delayed twice since August.

This would be the second revision of the plan, after the NCC previously said it would not allow trains to skirt across its property between Westboro and the Sir John A Macdonald Pkwy.
