The City of Ottawa has commenced the Old Railway Rideau River Pedestrian Bridge Renewal Environmental Assessment (EA) Study. A Virtual Public Information Session was held on November 6th, 2024. Your feedback is important to the success of this study. Provide your feedback by November 20, 2024.
The Old Railway Rideau River Pedestrian Bridge (SN018600), built in 1898, is 160 m in length, crossing the Rideau River just south of Highway 417. The Bridge carried a single railway track on the former CP Rail Montreal & Ottawa Subdivision until its abandonment in 1966 and was re-purposed by 1972 to carry only pedestrian and cycling traffic. The bridge provides an important multi-use active transportation link between the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) Rideau River Eastern Pathway and the City of Ottawa’s (City) Rideau River Western Pathway / Rideau River Nature Trail. In 2018, a Detailed Condition Assessment was completed and concluded that the structure was in overall poor condition, with several components showing significant signs of deterioration.Slide deck from Virtual Presention
