The National Capital Region’s oldest interprovincial crossing is poised to undergo a major rehabilitation to replace several aging structures and bring the structure into “harmony” with a new waterfront community taking shape around it.
Public Services and Procurement Canada said Friday that it’s awarded a $24.6 million construction management contract to Quebec City-based Construction Demathieu & Bard for work on the Hull Causeway and Union Bridge – two of the spans that collectively comprise the Chaudière Crossing that connects Booth Street in Ottawa to Eddy Street in Gatineau.
Several steel and concrete components in the century-old Union Bridge have reached the end of their useful lives and need to be repaired or replaced, the federal government said in a statement. Meanwhile, the Hull Causeway is being widened to include raised cycling lanes and larger sidewalks to improve connections with the new Zibi mixed-use development.

Prior to the pandemic, some 18,000 cars and trucks – or roughly nine per cent of the National Capital Region’s interprovincial vehicle traffic – used the Chaudière Crossing daily.
