"This is an important milestone in the Alexandra Bridge replacement project and underscores the Government of Canada's commitment to expedite nation-building projects that will connect and transform our country,” said Public Works Minister Joël Lightbound. “This project will enhance transportation and mobility in the National Capital Region for decades to come."

The teams were selected through a Request for Qualifications that was launched in October 2024. They will now be invited to submit formal proposals in October 2025. The successful bidder will work in partnership with the integrated project team to finalize the design, deconstruct the existing structure and build the new bridge.

The contract for planning and design is expected to be awarded in winter 2026. The contract for deconstruction and construction is expected to follow in 2027, with work beginning in 2028. The new bridge is expected to be in use by 2032.

The National Capital Commission recently unveiled the updated preferred design concept for the bridge, which responds to feedback received through public consultations.

The current Alexandra Bridge is over 120 years old and has reached the end of its useful life.

The replacement project is being advanced using a progressive design-build approach, which will allow for early collaboration between designers and builders, leading to faster delivery, better cost control and higher-quality results.
