    Great view of Ottawa and Gatineau on the bridge. My favorite route: Parliament Hill -> Supreme Court -> Portage bridge -> History Museum -> NAC. Lots of things to watch along the route.

    One of Ottawa's 5 bridges over the Kitchissippi (Ottawa River - Rivière des Outaouais). It has 2 lanes and a third one for buses crossing the river between Ottawa and Gatineau. It also has a wide sidewalk on either side and ample space for bicycles. As you may be focused on crossing from one side to the next, while looking at the river and the landmarks, you may forget to consider Asinabka (Victoria Island) and how beautiful it must have been over the 9000 years it was inhabited before the Europeans arrived, the fur trade and the logs making their way down the river to the St. Lawrence. If you're cycling this bridge can be part of a great circuit to the Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge on one side of the river and the other for the return. Runners may want to run below the parliament and along the river near the Canadian Museum of History.

    (Translated by Google) The deck is wide and safe for bikes. It must be poorly built because it must be renovated every 20 years, which prevents the construction of two new interprovincial bridges. Too bad the Romans burned their Manuals of Bridges and Roads before disappearing, the Outaouais region would badly need it. (Original) Le pont est large et sécuritaire pour les vélos. Il doit être mal construit parce qu'il doit être rénové à tous les 20 ans ce qui empêche la construction de deux nouveaux ponts interprovinciaux. Dommage que les Romains ont brûlés leurs Manuels de ponts et chaussées avant de disparaître, la région de l’Outaouais en aurait grandement besoin.

    Currently the pedestrian and cycling lanes are under construction. Drivers find the heavy traffic and potholes to be a trial.
