The Alexandra Bridge is going to be closed from June of this year until June of 2020 for repairs to slightly prolong it's lifespan, but it's slated for replacement in the next decade or two. The pilings themselves are structurally unsound so a refurbishment is unlikely and a complete replacement will likely be the only option. I would shed more than a few tears watching that bridge come down but at the same time I ponder the opportunities for a landmark feature bridge in Ottawa that could become a signature of the city. I would rather keep the existing bridge of course but if that's not possible then I wonder what could replace it... Modern LED lighting features and modern design... What do you guys think?
