Info-Work: Rideau Canal Walls (Echo Drive)

Ottawa, Ontario, May 3, 2021 – Parks Canada would like to inform the public that the concrete stairs at the National Capital Commission Kiosk that lead to the Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway from Colonel By Drive at Concord Street North will be temporarily closed starting on May 4th for modifications to the stairs and the handrail.

The north lane of the Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway at Concord Street North will be closed while this work is being completed. Northbound pedestrian and cyclist traffic are directed to utilize the south lane on the Rideau Canal Eastern Pathway at Concord Street North to bypass the construction. Minor vehicle traffic disruptions on Colonel By Drive may be expected as contractors move equipment to and from the site. Please follow signage and exercise caution in the area.

This infrastructure work is part of the Government of Canada’s Federal Infrastructure Investment program. Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas.
