In order to complete rehabilitation work, Mission Bridge will be closed to all vehicle traffic starting mid-fall 2024 through to the end of summer 2025. Mission Bridge will only be open to pedestrians, cyclists, and scooters.
This will greatly impact how students will get to school this fall and throughout the school year. Planning for how your child will get to school is strongly recommended.
How to access the Rideau Park neighbourhood while Mission Bridge is closed:
- Walking, biking, or wheeling to school
- Walking across Mission Bridge from a drop-off point at 26 Avenue, 4 Street, or Elbow Drive
- Walking across the Rideau Bridge (footbridge), accessible at Elbow Drive and 32 Avenue
- If driving directly to the school is required, allow extra time as many vehicles will be travelling along the single route into the neighbourhood, and be sure to follow the drop-off loop around 30 Avenue (see map on website).
How will this affect school bus transportation?
CBE Transportation is aware of the Mission Bridge closure. Bus stops, pick up/drop off times and the route the school bus will take will be planned with the Mission Bridge closure in mind based on school bus registrations received by June 16.
