Flora Footbridge, Pedestrian bridge in Ottawa, Canada
The Flora Footbridge stretches 123 meters across the Rideau Canal, connecting Fifth Avenue in the Glebe neighborhood with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.
The construction of this transportation link began in 2018 and opened ahead of schedule on June 28, 2019, with a total investment of 21 million dollars.
The bridge received its name through a public consultation process that gathered 180 suggestions, honoring Flora MacDonald, the first female foreign minister of Canada.
The five-meter-wide structure enables pedestrians and cyclists to cross over both the Rideau Canal and Colonel By Drive, reducing travel time between neighborhoods.
Two elliptical-shaped piers serve as seating areas during winter canal skating sessions and maintain clearance for recreational watercraft during summer months.
