Comments

  • Busy south bound in the AM and north bound in the PM as Quebec workers got to and return from work since there are no jobs in Hull/Gatineau.
  • Probably the scariest major bridge I have ever been on. The Northbound lane is not even on concrete, it is just steel grate. I also don't recommend walking across the bridge on a cool day as it can get very windy over the river.
