It is also possible to remove unnecessary private vehicles running through downtown that will have a more direct route between east Gatineau and east Ottawa and a less congested route from Gatineau to Highway 417 east.

6% of existing truck traffic is long distance through traffic.
Anticipated diversion is 40%, with the remaining 60% having KE as the shorter router between origin and destination.
