What is the difference between Phases 1 and 2?
Phase 1 of the Study assessed the need and justification for future crossing(s) of the Ottawa River between the City of Ottawa and the Ville de Gatineau. The Study developed, evaluated and ranked alternative options. This has led to a short list of recommended locations and alignments for the Study of future interprovincial crossings and associated roadway connections. Phase 2 of the Study will include more detailed development and refinement of the three bridge corridors identified as the highest ranked in Phase 1. The final product will be an Environmental Assessment Report and a Screening Report.
