Ottawa –Starting Monday, October 28, the multi-use pathway along the east bank of the Rideau River will be closed in the vicinity of Hurdman Bridge due to construction on Highway 417. The pathway is scheduled to be closed for approximately two weeks, with an additional two week closure in late November.



Signage will be in place to provide pedestrians and cyclists with a map of alternative routes.



The pathway along the west bank, which was closed October 7, is expected to re-open by early-November. The marked detour route remains in place.



This closure is part of the Highway 417 Expansion project, which began in May. This project will add an additional lane in each direction, between Nicholas Street and the Split. The additional lane will be used for bus rapid transit during the 2015 to 2018 phase of the Confederation Line construction.



With all of the construction-related activities underway, residents are encouraged to be flexible with commuting times, stagger work hours or use other alternative means for travel. The public is asked to consider options such as transit, walking, cycling or carpooling.



The City of Ottawa has tools on ottawa.ca to help motorists and transit users plan their routes and manage their commute including:



Travel Planner at octranspo.com – transit users can chart and plan routes



City of Ottawa Traffic Report – outlining citywide road closures, traffic restrictions and detours



Interactive traffic map – showing construction areas and live traffic cams throughout the city



Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) cameras along Highway 417



Cycling maps and information – detailing bicycle pathways and lanes throughout the city



Information about additional construction activity will be shared with the public prior to work commencing.



Further project details and other information concerning ongoing City roadwork are available on ottawa.ca.
