This former railway bridge overlooks the Ottawa River, with Parliament Hill on the Ottawa side and the Canadian Museum of civilizations on the Quebec side. Two lanes are reserved for car traffic, while the third lane is fused as a pedestrian and cycling path. The car traffic tend to be noisy at all times, if you are walking. More

This bridge was constructed in 1898 in a steel trestle style. It is certainly not a beauty but its geometry photographs nicely. The pedestrian walk is on the upstream side and includes a bike path -- it affords good views of Parliament Hill and the Museum of Civlization. If taking pictures, watch out not to walk in the bike path... More
