Starting May 19, motorists in Ottawa will experience lane reductions on Riverside Drive at Bank Street as part of ongoing construction work. The City of Ottawa announced that the lane reductions are necessary to facilitate infrastructure improvements in the area.
Construction Details
The lane reductions will be in effect on Riverside Drive at the intersection with Bank Street. Drivers are advised to expect delays and consider alternate routes during the construction period. The project is expected to last several weeks, with completion anticipated by late June.
Impact on Traffic
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction during peak construction hours. Commuters are encouraged to use public transit or plan extra travel time. The city has also implemented detour signs to guide drivers around the construction zone.
Pedestrians and cyclists will have access maintained through the area, though some temporary path closures may occur. The city apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks residents for their patience during this essential work.
