Ring Road (Regina) - Route Details

Route Details

Going from the south to north, the first interchange is a diamond interchange that bridges over 7-lane-wide Victoria Avenue (also a part of the Trans-Canada Highway), next is a 1/2 diamond interchange that overpasses 3 lane wide Dewdney Avenue.

Continuing north, Ring Road descends to underpass the Canadian Pacific rail line, curves to the north-west and also underpasses 5 lane Ross Avenue that connects to Ring Road with a 1/2 diamond interchange. Immediately after this underpass, another rail line bridges over the highway. Ring Road then ascends to overpass Provincial Highway 46 (also labelled McDonald Street at this point) with a full diamond interchange.

After this point, there are 2 light-controlled railway crossings that are not bridged over Ring Road. The first is a CN line that has infrequent train crossings, and shortly afterward approaches the CP line that has moderate train crossings. Even though typically the trains crossing these lines are short in length, evening rush hour in Regina often causes vehicle stand-stills at this point of Ring Road stretching over the Highway 46 interchange.

Immediately after these 2 rail crossings, Ring Road underpasses 5 lane wide Winnipeg Street which connects with a diamond interchange and curves to the west. Next, the highway underpasses Broad Street (with no interchange) followed by a pedestrian walkway. Ring Road then underpasses 6 lane wide Provincial Highway 6 (an extension of Albert Street) with a partial cloverleaf interchange (the loop on the south-east corner is occupied by restaurants).

Finally, Ring Road underpasses 5 lane Argyle Street connected with a 1/2 diamond interchange before ending with a traffic light controlled intersection at Pasqua Street. Further west from this point, the road becomes 9th Avenue North.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or details:

    no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    Then he told the news media
    the strange details of his death
    and they hammered him up in the marketplace
    and sold him and sold him and sold him.
    My death the same.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
