Island Park Drive

Island Park Drive is a scenic parkway in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The north end connects to the Kichi Zibi Mikan and the Champlain Bridge, which crosses the Ottawa River into Gatineau, Quebec.

Commercial vehicles are prohibited from Island Park Drive, which is a two-lane arterial road with a 40 km/h (25 mph) speed limit due to the residential nature.

It predates the Champlain Bridge, which opened in 1927; prior to that, the road ended at the edge of the Ottawa River.

The full operation, which required about 15 hours, occurred during the night of 11-12 August 2007, and it is the first time that this method was used in Canada, although it previously was used in other countries including the United States.
