The construction of new sewage infrastructure in Confederation Park will cause temporary closures of adjacent traffic lanes and a portion of the park, starting in March.

Work to construct the Rideau Canal Interceptor Diversion Chamber is scheduled to continue until January 2019. It’s part of a larger city project, called the Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel, which seeks to reduce sewage overflows into the Ottawa River during heavy rainfall. The diversion chamber being built in Confederation Park will help push this project forward by diverting the flow of the current Rideau Canal Interceptor into the CSST system.

Steven Courtland, project manager for the CSST, said the work in the downtown park will “adhere to industry standards for mitigation of potential noise, dust and vibration,” and that “vehicle access to the National Arts Centre and cycling and pedestrian connectivity” will be maintained. Construction will take place in an approximately 1,400-square-metre area on the eastern side of the park.

The CSST is itself part of the Ottawa River Action Plan, which Courtland describes as “the City of Ottawa’s roadmap to protect the Ottawa River for future generations.” In addition to reducing overflow into the river, the CSST will, according to Courtland, lower the risk of flooding in homes in the Glebe and O’Connor area.
