Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge

　　The Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge spans the Ottawa River and is also known as the "Alexandra Iron Bridge" or the "Interprovincial Iron Bridge." It connects Ottawa in Ontario and Gatineau in Quebec. Construction began in 1898 and was completed in 1900, making it one of Canada's most important bridges. The bridge is 563.27 meters long, 18.89 meters wide, with a maximum span of 172 meters. Each day, approximately 15,000 vehicles, 2,000 pedestrians, and 1,300 bicycles cross the bridge.

　　The bridge has three main lanes: two for vehicular traffic in both directions and one dedicated bicycle lane. Despite being over a century old, it remains one of the most vital transportation links between Ontario and Quebec. On both sides of the bridge are major Canadian institutions, such as the Canadian Museum of History, the National Gallery of Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint, and the Canadian War Museum.
