A new tourist attraction coming to the capital region is promising to give the paying public a unique view of the Ottawa River.

Branding and marketing agency Orkestra says a new interprovincial zip line is expected to be up and running by next summer.

According to a source close to the project, the zip line will connect portions of the Zibi development in both provinces.

Orkestra initially confirmed the project to Radio-Canada, but the company's vice-president, Alex Van Dieren, declined further comment.

A news conference has been scheduled for Dec. 5, and the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau have been invited to attend.
