The NCC has announced its plans to initiate repairs to the two Hog’s Back Road bridges at separate times. The first project began in Aug. 2019.
May 4, 2020 – September 2021
Hog’s Back Fixed Bridge and Dam Rehabilitation
Parks Canada would like to advise that the Hogs Back Fixed Bridge, that spans the Rideau Canal National Historic Site, will be closing to vehicle traffic on May 4, 2020 with an anticipated reopening in late December 2020. This work is part of a larger federal infrastructure renewal project, which will result in improved, safer traveling experiences for bridge users. For more information about this project, click here.
During the restoration, the fixed bridge deck will be replaced and the pedestrian tunnel on the west side will be repaired. Repairs and a road closure will be in effect until September 2021.
The NCC has published information about all of their major infrastructure projects, including the swing bridge repairs on their website.
Details about the fixed bridge repair are also posted for information.
