The City of Ottawa has initiated a preliminary and detailed design assignment for the construction of a new bridge located between River Road and Prince of Wales Drive. The bridge will connect Strandherd Drive and Earl Armstrong Road and will accommodate traffic, transit, cyclists and pedestrians. The information session is being held on the 10th of December 2008 from 6:30-8:30 pm at the Rideauview Community Centre (4310 Shoreline Rd.)

Given that the Rideau River has recently been designated a world heritage site by UNESCO http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1221/ , the Design of the Bridge will be completed in partnership with Parks Canada and the National Capital Commission in compliance with the Federal Government design interests on heritage designated sites and all federal and provincial Environmental Assessment requirements.

The purpose of this first public open house is to introduce the design project, obtain public input and review the work completed to date.
