The Hunt Club Pedestrian, single span bridge has a total length of 246 feet and features a unique O-hole section that features from the southern entry to Ottawa. This bridge features 98-foot high towers, constructed with self-consolidating concrete and epoxy-coated reinforcing steel. The curve of the tower balances the asymmetrical cable loads.
The 15.7-foot wide, multi-use pathway links the Hunt Club community with the South Keys Transitway Station. It utilizes slopes that are gentle enough to meet all accessibility standards for wheelchairs, bicycles and pedestrians.
The pathway also crosses the existing Sawmill Creek wetland area.
