Montreal’s Île-aux-Tourtes bridge will be replaced by a new structure with reserved lanes for buses and a bike path

The Île-aux-Tourtes bridge, built in 1965, that connects Vaudreuil-Dorion to the west of the island of Montreal is going to be replaced with a new structure that will be 50 per cent larger.

The new bridge will have reserved lanes for buses and a bike path. Roughly 83,000 vehicles use the Île-aux-Tourtes bridge every day.

The project is expected to cost several hundred million dollars and be completed by 2029 or 2030.
