Rideau Street to close on April 26
On Sunday, April 26, Rideau Street will close between Sussex Drive and Dalhousie Street until the end of 2020. This closure is needed to renew Rideau and William streets. Work on Rideau Street includes improved sidewalks, cycling and transit facilities, benches, bicycle parking, pedestrian lighting, landscaping and more. Work on William Street includes an improved pedestrian experience, with seating, trees, lighting and bicycle parking.
Work on William Street between George and Rideau streets will start in early fall. The project will be completed by the end of 2020.
Pedestrian crossings will be maintained through the work and signed detours will be in place.
