Both lanes now open on Rideau Ferry Bridge

The long-awaited reopening of both lanes on Rideau Ferry Bridge has begun!

The bridge is jointly owned by Lanark County and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Work

to rehabilitate the bridge was undertaken by Dalcon Constructors Limited in April 2022 and the bridge

was reduced to one lane throughout the construction season. Material and labour shortages last year

meant work to complete both sides of the bridge was postponed until this spring to prevent concrete

work being undertaken in unfavourable conditions.

“Work has been completed on schedule this spring and we are pleased to be able to reopen both

lanes to traffic as the busy summer season gets underway,” said Sean Derouin, Lanark County public

works manager. “We would like to thank motorists for their patience while this important rehabilitation

work was completed.”
