Gatineau, Quebec, October 21, 2026 - Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) wishes to inform users that the Alexandra Bridge will be closed to motorists for maintenance work during the following periods:

• From Saturday, October 24, at 6 a.m. to Sunday, October 25, at 7 p.m.

• From Saturday, November 7, at 6 a.m. to Sunday, November 8, at 7 p.m.

During these periods, the boardwalk will remain accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.

The Alexandra Bridge is at the end of its service life; therefore, regular interventions are necessary to ensure its continued safety. The planned maintenance work includes welding repairs on the steel grating of the Gatineau-bound lane. These repairs are essential to maintain the structural integrity of the bridge until it is replaced.

The schedule may change depending on weather conditions.

PSPC thanks users for their patience and encourages everyone to use caution when travelling through the area.
