Airport Parkway Pedestrian/Cycling Bridge

The Airport Parkway Pedestrian/Cycling Bridge crosses over the Airport Parkway north of Huntclub Road, connecting the Sawmill Creek Pathway on the east side with Plante Drive on the west.

Since I photographed this bridge in 2019 the City of Ottawa has dedicated it as a memorial bridge. I had planned on going out this summer and photographing the new plaque and signs but the pandemic lockdown kept me from doing that. When things open up more I will revisit this site and post an update on it.
