It is a very wide and beautiful bridge that borders the two provinces of Ontario, Quebec and has a wonderful view of the historic buildings of Ottawa.

Great view of Ottawa and Gatineau on the bridge. My favorite route: Parliament Hill -> Supreme Court -> Portage bridge -> History Museum -> NAC. Lots of things to watch along the route.

One of Ottawas 5 bridges over the Kitchissippi (Ottawa River - Rivière des Outaouais). It has 2 lanes and a third one for buses crossing the river between Ottawa and Gatineau. It also has a wide sidewalk on either side and ample space for bicycles. As you may be focused on crossing from one side to the next, while looking at the river and the landmarks, you may forget to consider Asinabka (Victoria Island) and how beautiful it must have been over the 9000 years it was inhabited before the Europeans arrived, the fur trade and the logs making their way down the river to the St. Lawrence. If youre cycling this bridge can be part of a great circuit to the Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge on one side of the river and the other for the return. Runners may want to run below the parliament and along the river near the Canadian Museum of History.
