The Motion bridge has been designed for the replacement of the Alexandra Bridge linking Ottawa and Gatineau.

The structure will support road and active travel modes, with separated lanes for vehicles, cycles and pedestrians.

NCC hopes that the project will create a sustainable interprovincial transportation connection that will prioritise active mobility.

Managing director of Knight Architects Martin Knight said: “The replacement of the Alexandra Bridge is hugely significant for Canada and we are very pleased to have reached this important milestone for such a landmark project.

“By engaging with multiple stakeholders to understand their aspirations and concerns, we strive for optimal solutions while delivering impactful structures that connect and enrich communities and generate lasting value.”
