September 13, 2022 – RIDEAU LAKES, ON – Parks Canada advises that the Chaffeys Lock Dam at Lock 37 will be undergoing maintenance between September 13-22, 2022.

During this time, the Chaffeys Lock Swing Bridge will continue to operate. As such, vehicular travel and boat navigation will remain open to residents and visitors.

The parking area west of the bridge, on the south side of Opinicon Road, will be closed to the public for construction equipment. A crane will be on site, and temporary fencing will be in place to limit access to the work area.

Parks Canada would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding.

Parks Canada is leading this important infrastructure work to ensure safe, high-quality experiences for visitors by improving heritage, visitor, waterway, and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas, including investments in the Rideau Canal National Historic Site in Rideau Lakes.
