Cycle path on new bridge delayed
The walking and cycling path on the new bridge, announced for Halloween, has been delayed till the end of autumn – basically, until it’s too iced up to be useful.

Unfortunate, i live pretty close and have been looking forward to checking it out.
But it should be pointed out that unlike Jacques Cartier, this one will be open 12 months out of the year. They built in some design features to make it safe and easy to clean snow and ice. So winter cycling enthusiasts will be able to use it even if it opens at a bad time.
I read elsewhere that the issue is they need to shutdown the highway for a night to finish off the pedestrian overpass, and they can’t do that in time.

That’s seasonal amnesia talking, lad.

We shall see. I was talking to a guy from Velo quebec and he seemed pretty happy with the design.
