The Jacques Cartier Bridge will be open to cyclists and pedestrians this winter
The multipurpose path and sidewalk path will be open seven days a week from 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. Preventive maintenance will be carried out overnight and closures will also take place sometimes on weekends to allow for more significant snow removal operations.
The federal government will spend $295,000 to keep the path open to pedestrians and cyclists throughout the winter, pilot project was carried out last winter with a small group of cyclists to establish protocols on how to maintain this 2.7-kilometre path and ensure safety from end to end despite slopes, curves and weather-related risks.
