City of Ottawa, federal government unveil plans for new multi-use pathway on Chief William Commanda Bridge

OTTAWA --
The long-awaited multi-use pathway connecting Ottawa and Gatineau through Lemieux Island will go ahead, good news for cyclists and pedestrians travelling along the Ottawa River.
On Monday, the city of Ottawa and the federal government announced construction will begin this year on the defunct bridge formerly known as the Prince of Wales Bridge.
“I was happy when I heard the news,” said cyclist Khanh Nguyen.
“It (will) be nice to be able to bike there quickly,” said Jim Bennett-Ross, referring to crossing the river to Gatineau.
The bridge is currently off-limits to the public, but it will become another option to travel between the two provinces.

Turning the Prince of Wales Bridge into a multi-use pathway to cost $22.6M: City

OTTAWA --
City of Ottawa staff say it will cost about $22.6 million to transform the Prince of Wales Bridge over the Ottawa River into a multi-use pathway until it's ready for rail again.
The 140-year-old bridge connecting Ottawa and Gatineau via Lemieux Island is still expected to be used for rail again in the future but, in the meantime, the City of Ottawa intends to turn it into a pathway that will be used by cyclists and pedestrians and even cross-country skiers, according to a memo sent to city councillors on Monday.
"The City has identified an opportunity to improve active transportation between Ottawa and Gatineau by building a multi-use pathway that would serve as an interprovincial link for pedestrians, commuting and recreational cyclists, cross-country skiers and visitors, until the structure is once again used as a rail transit connection," the memo states.

A 26-year-old man from London died Sunday afternoon after jumping from the bridge into the Ottawa River. His body was recovered late Sunday by police divers.
