The junction table lists exits for Arnprior/Carleton Place as "Ottawa Regional Road..." even though these towns aren't in Ottawa:
180.5 112.2 180 Regional Road 29 – Arnprior, Carleton Place
Arnprior is in Renfrew County, Carleton Place/Pakenham are in Lanark, Kinburn points to a disambiguation page (but looks to be Ottawa).
Ontario Highway 29 as the (now-decommissioned) Brockville-Smiths Falls-Carleton Place-Arnprior highway seems to barely touch Ottawa-Carleton at all and only in this one corner
[2] but is 29 on the Ottawa or Arnprior side of the line at this point?

The sentence "Its route bisects central Ottawa with downtown and the Parliament Buildings laying to the north; residential neighbourhoods including the Glebe line the south side." needs to be reworded.
The sentence "On November 26, 1965, the structures over the Rideau Canal were opened to traffic, extending the westbound lanes to Concord Street, west of the Nicholas Street interchange." sounds choppy and needs to be reworded.
The Queensway section of the route description needs citations.
Citations needed for "and was opened in 2008 along with the Highway 7 expansion." and "The Arnprior Bypass was built to direct through traffic around downtown Arnprior and was designed for an eventual upgrade to freeway."
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Can the physical surroundings of the route be mentioned in the lead?
The Western extension section seems to jump from talking about the western extensions to talking about the improvements made in Ottawa. Maybe this should be moved to a separate section.
Alrighty. Thanks for the review! I've changed the "Western extension" section title so that it covers the topics being discussed. It's all in chronological order right now, so it would be hard to pull out the two paragraphs on widening in the 80s into a new section. Added a sentence to the lead on the surroundings. The Queensway RD section is sourced now, as well as the stuff about the Arnprior bypass and the openings in 2008. The sentence beginning "On November 26, 1965" has been broken in two. I made a few minor changes to the sentence beginning "Its route bisects", let me know if it works. Cheers, - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲτ¢18:40, 1 July 2012 (UTC)reply
As of 2 September 2016, the infobox says 187.0 km and cites a 2010 report, the "Route Description" section says 181.4 km without giving a cite, and I know from driving the highway that it's been extended since 2010 (but that's original research). Does anyone have a cite for a current number? --
