Description

Although buzzing with cars today (and the wheels do actually create a strange buzzing sound as they travel from Ottawa to Hull), this bridge once carried trains between Ontario and Quebec as well. There is a generous wooden-planked footpath across the bridge. Take the time to stroll or cycle between Ottawa and the Museum of Civilization in Hull. The bridge is well lit at night by an illuminated Parliament Hill.
