The newly refurbished Chief William Commanda Bridge over the Ottawa River is a popular attraction for cyclists and walkers. ottnews
This is the first weekend that the Chief William Commanda Bridge has been open, providing a new link between Quebec and Ottawa.The bridge was closed for decades to undergo a $22.6 million dollar renovation. It's not only a link between the two provinces, but also provides a chance to cut down on commute times for so many who travel between Ottawa and Gatineau.
The bridge was originally built in 1880 as a railway link that ran between Gatineau and Ottawa, but hasn't been in service since 2001. The construction project faced multiple delays due to labour shortages and supply chain issues. The bridge is giving pedestrians a new view of the skyline and a chance to cut down on commute times for those who travel between the two provinces.
In light of the opening, some councillors are calling for an increased focus on pedestrianization across the city.
