Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge
The idea for a bridge in this location was first brought up in 1993 as a road bridge. The location was later revisited as the location for a light rail crossing for the O-Train, but that extension plan was cancelled. In 2010, the city, provincial, and national governments invested equal amounts totaling $48 million in building the bridge. The original contractor hired, ConCreate USL, went into receivership about 60% of the way complete with the project, and the City of Ottawa hired a new contractor, Horseshoe Hill Construction Inc., to finish the remainder of the project。
The project is expected to be completed in August 2013. The bridge is being assembled on the eastern shore of the Rideau River, and it is scheduled to be moved into place in the winter of 2012–13.
