That’s annoying. Aside from the usual reasons, that bridge has the only bike path going from Nun’s Island to “mainland” Montreal.

Time to build that second bridge right to downtown Verdun.

Absolutely willie. The new bridge (possibly with some restrictions on car traffic during rush hour) is the right thing for the Verdun borough (Nun’s Island + original city of Verdun).

Anyone have links to stories pro or con on this Verdun bridge idea?

$20 mil pedestrian/bike/emergency vehicle bridge approved by council 4 years ago……methinks needs to include car traffic too otherwise a waste. http://coolopolis.blogspot.ca/2008/07/verdun-bad-bridge-planning.html

It’s possible Verdun is making a rational choice not to route a lot of extra motor traffic onto their streets.
I don’t know much about Verdun borough politics, but I recall that Nuns Island is sort of embarrassed about its poorer twin on the main island. I don’t know whether that’s a factor in this bridge business.
