OTTAWA The long-awaited multi-use pathway connecting Ottawa and Gatineau through Lemieux Island will go ahead, good news for cyclists and pedestrians travelling along the Ottawa River. On Monday, the city of Ottawa and the federal government announced construction will begin this year on the defunct bridge formerly known as the Prince of Wales Bridge. “I was happy when I heard the news,” said cyclist Khanh Nguyen. “It (will) be nice to be able to bike there quickly,” said Jim Bennett-Ross, referring to crossing the river to Gatineau. The bridge is currently off-limits to the public, but it will become another option to travel between the two provinces.
