Floodwaters washed out so much of the Ottawa River shoreline that the National Capital Commission will require nearly another year repairing pathways and “shoreline assets.”

Several popular pathways will be closed because of sinkholes and erosion until the spring of 2018, including:

– The Parliament Hill section of the Ottawa River Pathway. “There is severe shoreline erosion, as well as visible sinkholes,” the NCC says.

– The Voyageurs Pathway from the Portage Bridge to the Canadian Museum of History, where “there has been severe shoreline erosion and infrastructure damage, in addition to the formation of sinkholes.”

– Gatineau Park’s Lac-des-Fées Pathway, which “has been damaged beyond repair. Extensive work will need to be done in order to restore the pathway.”

The NCC says the pathways “will be rebuilt to a higher standard” in the hope of withstanding a future flood.

Meanwhile the Champlain Bridge parking lot will remain partially open, though they need some repairs, too. Leamy Lake Park and beach remain partly accessible, but the beach itself is still closed because of high water levels.

Other pathways damaged by the flood have already been repaired.
