Le Buttereau Parking Lot Redesign, Cape Breton Highlands National Park

The current access road for Le Buttereau trailhead parking lot involves crossing Rigwash Brook, with three side-by-side culverts located beneath the roadway. This project proposes to relocate the parking area closer to the Cabot Trail, replacing the current stream crossing with a pedestrian bridge located at a relatively narrow area slightly upstream. By removing the existing culverts and returning the streambed in this area to a natural state, the project aims to improve aquatic connectivity. This project is anticipated to take place in 2021 and will be assessed with a Basic Impact Assessment.
