Airport Parkway is a "super-2" expressway for most of its length, and is home to one of Ontario's only two SPUI's at its Hunt Club Road exit. The speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph) for its entire length. There has been some discussing in twinning it to a four_lane freeway, although those discussions have stalled due to local controversy.
Until 1997, Airport Parkway was maintained by the federal government of Canada under the jurisdiction of the National Capital Commission. Currently it's also known as Ottawa Road 79.
The AirportParkway and MS 25 Connectors, which would diverge in the middle of the study area, were both proposed to be constructed on new alignments totaling 9.3 miles in length.
The MS 25 Connector begins at the proposed AirportParkway at a point approximately 2.6 miles east of the western terminus of the AirportParkway at I-55, and proceeds in a northeasterly direction to terminate at MS 25, north of the airport.
The NEPA process for the AirportParkway and MS 25 Connectors project in the counties of Hinds and Rankin, Mississippi was a well-organized and actively participated effort.
In recent years, OttawaAirport has witnessed a significant growth in air passenger traffic, fuelled in particular by growth in the region's technology and tourism sectors.
The airport is considered to be a major contributor to the local economy both in terms of economic impact and job creation.
The management opinion is that the airport is growing because the region it serves is growing and the region's growth is facilitated by a better service.
