Nepean Towing provides towing service in Riverside South for breakdowns, lockouts, flat tires, dead batteries, and accident recovery along Limebank Road, Strandherd Drive, Longfields Drive, Borrisokane Road, and the residential streets throughout this fast-growing south Ottawa community. Riverside South sits between the Rideau River to the east and the Barrhaven communities to the west, with Limebank Road serving as the main north-south spine connecting the neighbourhood to Strandherd Drive and the broader south Ottawa road network. Call (613) 619-4545 and we dispatch to your location in Riverside South 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Riverside South is one of Ottawa's most actively developing communities, with new phases of residential construction adding streets and crescents on an ongoing basis. The pace of growth means that some roads within the community are newer than the map data used by some navigation systems, and locating a vehicle on a recently opened street requires a different approach than a call from an established address. When you call from Riverside South, telling us the nearest collector road and any visible street sign or house number gives us what we need to reach you regardless of whether your specific street is in every database.
Limebank Road runs north-south through Riverside South and is the community's primary collector road, connecting the residential streets to Strandherd Drive to the north and continuing south as the community expands. Most of the residential phases in Riverside South branch off Limebank Road, making it the natural reference point for locating a vehicle anywhere in the community. Breakdowns on Limebank Road itself range from mid-road stalls during peak commute hours to parking lot and driveway calls at the commercial properties and transit facilities developing along the corridor.
If your vehicle has stopped on Limebank Road, give us your direction of travel and the nearest side street or landmark visible to you. For stops in the residential sections where Limebank passes through established phases of the development, a cross street name is the fastest way to confirm your position. For stops in sections where commercial development is newer and fewer fixed landmarks exist, describe what you can see around you and we navigate from Strandherd Drive southward to reach you.
Strandherd Drive forms the northern boundary of Riverside South and connects the community west to the Barrhaven Town Centre area and east toward Prince of Wales Drive. Residents of Riverside South use Strandherd Drive daily to access the retail and transit options in Barrhaven, and breakdowns on Strandherd Drive in the Riverside South section are within our coverage from either the Barrhaven or Riverside South approach. The intersection of Limebank Road and Strandherd Drive is the main gateway into the community and a common reference point for callers trying to describe their location.
Longfields Drive and Borrisokane Road connect Riverside South to the interior of the Barrhaven community further west, and breakdowns on these roads in the areas between the two communities fall within our service zone. If you are between Riverside South and Barrhaven on one of these connector roads and are not sure which community you are technically in, give us the street name and nearest cross street and we reach you without needing a boundary determination.
Prince of Wales Drive runs along the Rideau River on the eastern side of Riverside South, connecting the community to Manotick to the south and to the Hog's Back Road area to the north. This road passes through sections that back onto the river with longer gaps between cross streets and limited pullover options in some stretches. A breakdown on Prince of Wales Drive in the Riverside South area can feel more isolated than one on a busier collector road because of the lower traffic volume and the fewer businesses and intersections along the corridor.
If you are stopped on Prince of Wales Drive, give us your direction of travel and the nearest visible address number, cross street, or landmark such as a community entrance sign or a bridge. The Rideau River crossings and community access points along Prince of Wales Drive give us reliable reference points for this corridor, and we reach vehicles on this road without difficulty. Stay inside your vehicle on the shoulder or road margin and activate hazard lights while waiting.
Tell us the nearest collector road you can identify and describe which direction from it your street is, along with any street sign or house number visible to you. Limebank Road is the main spine of Riverside South and most new residential phases branch off it or off secondary roads that connect back to it. If you know which phase of the development you are in or which major intersection you turned off from, that also helps us navigate from a known point to your location. We do not rely on a single map source and we are familiar with Riverside South's layout including sections that are in active development. A combination of your street name, the collector road you came from, and anything you can see around you is enough for us to reach you.
Prince of Wales Drive in the Riverside South area carries lighter traffic than the main collectors, which reduces some of the pressure from moving vehicles passing close to a stopped car but also means fewer people will see you if you need help. Stay inside your vehicle with hazard lights on, and if the vehicle is in a travel lane rather than fully on the shoulder, that increases the urgency of the call. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest address number or cross street visible to you. If the road is very dark and you are in an exposed position, let us know when you call so we can account for that in the dispatch. We give you an estimated arrival time so you know how long you are waiting before help arrives.
It does not matter for dispatch purposes. Borrisokane Road and Longfields Drive in the connector area between Riverside South and Barrhaven are within our coverage regardless of which side of the community boundary you happen to be on. Give us the street name and the nearest cross street or visible address and we dispatch to your exact location. The distinction between Riverside South and Barrhaven is a planning boundary, not a service boundary, and we service the full area between the two communities without requiring you to determine which side of the line your vehicle is on.
The established and newly opened residential streets in Riverside South are fully accessible for our service vehicles. The only access limitations we encounter in this area are temporary construction zone closures on streets in active development phases, which can affect the approach route to your location but do not prevent us from reaching you. If a road near you is under construction, mention it when you call and we plan an alternate approach. The NCC land along the Rideau River east of Prince of Wales Drive is not accessible by road for our vehicles, but calls from Prince of Wales Drive itself and all residential streets within the Riverside South community boundary are fully within our service capability.
Call Nepean Towing. We dispatch to Limebank Road, Strandherd Drive, Prince of Wales Drive, and every street in Riverside South, 24 hours a day.
