The two-year rehabilitation project is set to begin this fall and includes minor steel repairs and protective coating (which is already underway), the replacement of the deck, sidewalk and barriers, seismic upgrades and protective repainting of the steel structure.

Carrying approximately 28,000 vehicles per day, the Chaudière Crossing was the first bridge to connect Ottawa and Gatineau over the Ottawa River. It consists of eight separate structures built at various times between 1827 and 1978.
