NCC Pathway re-opens after over a year of detours

Definitely not sports news, but something we've blogged about in the past:

Public Notice: Ottawa River Pathway Behind the Supreme Court of Canada to
Open on Saturday, May 7, 2005

GATINEAU, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - May 6, 2005) - On May 7, 2005, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), in collaboration with the National Capital Commission (NCC), will reopen the section of the Ottawa River Pathway behind the Supreme Court of Canada.

Although repairs are required to an area of the escarpment in the fall of 2005, PWGSC has installed temporary cement structures to provide access to the pathway throughout the summer months. These temporary structures will remain in place until repair work is completed.

For the safety of users of the pathway, cyclists are asked to walk their bikes through the area where the temporary structures are located.

The pathway may have to be temporarily closed in the fall while repairs to the escarpment are carried out.
