Île-aux-Tourtes Bridge Reconstruction

The new bridge will be built just north of the existing bridge which was built in 1965. The construction of the new bridge will bring needed relief to the current bridge which has been undergoing constant repairs due to its deteriorating state.

Through the construction of the new, larger bridge, some 87,000 daily commuters will benefit from an increased flow of traffic and overall bridge infrastructure.

The Project’s main features include:

• New bridge design and construction.
• Three lanes of traffic in each direction.
• Two-way multi-use path and shoulders for use by buses.
• Fifty percent larger structure to accommodate for reserved lane.
