Thousands of people walked, ran and cycled across the William Commanda Bridge during its opening weekend.
People enjoy the recently finished Chief William Commanda Bridge multi-use pathway over the Ottawa River in Ottawa on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. The newly finished recreational corridor links Ottawa and Gatineau, Quebec.
The new multi-use pathway connecting Ottawa and Gatineau over the Ottawa River opened to the public on Friday, Aug. 4. "During the first weekend the bridge was open for use, the City recorded approximately 7,500 people crossing per day," the city said. The city notes the automatic counter is located towards the north side of Lemieux Island, and only counts people who are crossing the north span of the William Commanda Bridge. People who crossed the southern span between Ottawa and Lemieux Island and turned around are not included in the stats, according to the city.
