Testing underway for controversial new bridge to Gatineau

AI Article: Perplexity Google Lens
The federal government reignited a decades-old debate as it began testing for a proposed sixth bridge linking Ottawa's east end to Gatineau. CTV's Katelyn Wilson reports that crews are conducting technical investigations along the Aviation Parkway to determine if a route crossing Kettle Island can reduce downtown truck traffic. Manor Park Community Association president Natalie Belovic argues the plan lacks detail and ignores the impact on east-end communities who have not been informed about the testing. Former city councillor Mathieu Fleury says the project appears designed to solve Gatineau's transportation problems by pushing congestion into Ottawa's east end.
