Lane closures during construction work

GATINEAU, Quebec, September 30, 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 end of May 2017. The regular Gatineau-bound lane will be closed to traffic during the project.

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

• From Monday to Friday, between 2 pm and 7 pm, when it will be used for Gatineau bound vehicular traffic

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.

For specific work, more restrictive lane closures may be required. Public notices will be issued to advise motorists of these lane reductions.

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