Wellington Crescent Riverbank, Path, and Roadway Project
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Introduction
The City of Winnipeg (the City) investigated how best to protect City infrastructure and preserve the south bank of the Assiniboine River on Wellington Crescent between Assiniboine Park and Doncaster Street. Stabilizing the bank is necessary to protect underground utilities and the nearby path and road from further riverbank failure.
Various options to manage riverbank related risks were evaluated to determine the best approach for protecting City assets and amenities.
Background
In the summer of 2016, cracks appeared in the walk bike path along Wellington Crescent near Lamont Boulevard. The City was monitoring the area and found that the cracking was caused by riverbank movement. The riverbank movement continued to worsen, and in July 2017 the riverbank failed. The walk bike path was closed for safety reasons and a temporary gravel detour was built along the north curb of Wellington Crescent. The riverbank monitoring also identified potential risks to the path and street at other locations within the project area.
In September 2018, the City began investigating solutions for the project area. The Wellington Crescent Riverbank, Path, and Roadway Project seeks to:
Protect the streets, paths, lighting and underground utilities from the impacts of ongoing erosion and movement by stabilizing the riverbank or relocating infrastructure out of high risk zones
Preserve the riverbank with erosion protection and stability improvements along the south bank of the Assiniboine River
Restore the damaged walk bike path or construct a new paved path in a different location along Wellington Crescent
