Nicholas Street

Nicholas Street is an arterial road in the central area of Ottawa, Ontario which connects Highway 417 with the downtown core.

Despite being a municipal road, the street is designated as part of Canada's National Highway System, as part of an interconnecting route between Highway 417 and Quebec Autoroute 5 in Gatineau.

The southern section of the road is a freeway between the Queensway (Highway 417) interchange and Laurier Avenue intersection.

The OC Transpo bus Transitway is a parallel facility situated to the east for much of Nicholas Street's length.

It is named for Nicholas Sparks, a prominent early citizen of Ottawa.
