On Friday, motorists reported length delays on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, Carling Avenue, Catherine Street and several east-west roads as they looked for an alternate way through the city. Drivers reported slow commutes through the detour on Friday afternoon. One driver told CTV News Ottawa it took more than an hour to travel from the west end to the downtown core, before they gave up and went hoe."I was stuck on Island Park for like an hour," another driver said.
