Lane closures on Alexandra Bridge during steel repairs

For immediate release

Gatineau, Quebec, March 3, 2017 – Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to advise motorists of lane closures during repair work on the Alexandra Bridge. Only one lane will be open to vehicular traffic until the end of June 2017.

The Ottawa-bound lane will be open to Ottawa-bound vehicular traffic except:

• from Monday to Wednesday, between 9:30 am and 3 pm, no vehicular traffic will be permitted on the bridge
• from Monday to Wednesday, between 3 pm and 7 pm, it will be used for Gatineau‑bound vehicular traffic
• on Thursday and Friday, between 2 pm and 7 pm, it will be used for Gatineau‑bound vehicular traffic

On occasion, no vehicular traffic will be permitted on the bridge on weeknights and/or weekends. Public notices will be issued to advise motorists of any activities involving these lane closures.

The boardwalk will remain open, but pedestrians and cyclists should expect a width reduction for short periods of time during this work. Cyclists will be asked to walk their bike when travelling through the reduced portion. Pedestrians and cyclists will have to exercise caution while using the boardwalk.

The schedule may change because of weather conditions.

PSPC encourages users to exercise caution when travelling in the construction zone and thanks them for their patience.
