Heron Road will be reduced from six lanes of traffic to four at the Heron Road Bridge due to construction starting April 11, 2011. The speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h and some delays can be expected during rehabilitation work on the North Bridge. All westbound traffic on Heron Road will be diverted to the South Bridge which is over the Rideau River and Rideau Canal, just west of Vincent Massey Park. The Vincent Massey Park Access Road and Colonel By Drive will experience heavier than usual construction traffic related to the bridge work. The project, which is part of the City’s ongoing bridge maintenance program, is expected to be completed by summer 2013.
Bus stops in the construction zone will be relocated and clearly identified and pedestrian access to Colonel By Drive and Vincent Massey Park will be modified. Detours and speed limits will be clearly marked.
