Lane Closures During Construction Work

GATINEAU, Quebec, September 26, 2016 – Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to advise motorists of lane closures during repair work on the Alexandra Bridge from October 3, 2016, to May 2017. A unidirectional reversible lane will be applied for the duration of the project.

The Gatineau-bound lane will be closed to vehicular traffic during the following period:

• From Monday to Sunday, 7 pm to 2 pm

The Ottawa-bound lane will be closed to vehicular traffic during the following period:

• From Monday to Sunday, 2 pm to 7 pm

For specific work, more restrictive lane closures will be required week nights and/or weekends, where the Gatineau- and Ottawa-bound lanes will be closed to vehicular traffic. Public notices will be issued to advise motorists of any activities involving these lane reductions.  

The Boardwalk will remain open, but pedestrians and cyclists should expect a width reduction for short periods of time during this period. 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.

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