Pedestrians and cyclists

This section informs cyclists and pedestrians about the annual opening of the bike path and sidewalk on the Jacques Cartier Bridge.

To stay informed of any road obstructions or closures in order to maintain the bike path and sidewalk, visit our blog or follow us on Twitter.

We would like to inform you that the Jacques Cartier Bridge bike path, located on the west side of the bridge, will officially reopen this Tuesday, March 26 2013 at 6 PM.

The spring cleaning of the bike path is completed. However, the path will continue to be sweeped and maintained during the year to keep it clean.

Also note that the sidewalk, located on the east side of the bridge, has been officially opened for the year (2013).

Detour over for the bike path

The reinforcement of the embankment is completed, all the bike path is now opened including the South Shore section.

It is important to remind you that significant work will take place over the summer (July) to definitively resolve this issue as part of the Taschereau Blvd. off-ramprefurbishment project.

RECEIVE NOTICES OF ANNUAL OPENING AND CLOSING

The closure of the bike path for the WINTER PERIOD is not scheduled for a specific date. We keep the path open for as long as possible, until weather conditions make its access difficult or unsafe. Please send us an e-mail at velos@pjcci.ca in order to receive the exact date of the bike path’s closure or opening.

You can also view access to the bike paths on the Jacques Cartier Bridge and the Champlain Bridge Ice Control Structure by consulting this map of our network and by choosing the option On bike. The bike path on the Champlain Bridge Ice Control Structure is also connected to the Route verte.

CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE BIKE PATH
