Roller bladers, cyclists, pedestrians and vehicles
can cross the Alexandra Bridge, which affords the best
views of the Ottawa-Hull skyline, the Ottawa River and
Parliament Buildings. The bridge crosses between Ottawa
and Hull on the Ontario and Quebec sides respectively.
There are only five public bridges crossing the Ottawa
River in the capital, which is not enough to handle
current vehicle volumes. As these are often under
construction, it is best to make inquiries and allow
plenty of extra time when driving across the river,
especially during weekday rush hours. © 1999 Richard McGuire
