NextImg:60 years of road salt has destroyed Ottawa's Alexandra Bridge: officials

OTTAWA — A 123-year old interprovincial bridge connecting downtown Ottawa with Gatineau, Que., is nearing its end thanks to the effects of six decades of road salt, federal officials said Wednesday.

The Alexandra Bridge, which opened to trains, streetcars and horse-drawn wagons in 1901, has now rusted so thoroughly it cannot be maintained.

“There are no solutions to maintain the bridge,” said Paul LeBrun, the Procurement Department’s chief engineer for bridges.
