Media Release - Rideau Ferry Bridge Work to Continue Starting March 15

For immediate release

March 13, 2023

From March 15 to July 2023, traffic will be reduced to one lane on the Rideau Ferry Bridge during its ongoing rehabilitation.

Dalcon Constructors Limited have been contracted by Lanark County and the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville to rehabilitate the jointly owned Rideau Ferry Bridge. Construction work has been underway since September of 2021, with Dalcon completing the east side of the bridge last fall and finishing the west of the bridge this year.

To facilitate the bridge improvement work, traffic will be reduced to one 3.6-metre lane, using temporary traffic signals and temporary concrete barriers to protect the workers. Traffic delays should be expected. 

Pedestrian access will be restored this summer to the east side of the bridge on the new sidewalks.

"We apologize for any convenience this may cause and appreciate your patience," said Lanark County Public Works Manager Sean Derouin.
