Gatineau Parkway Road Repairs Near Alexandre-Taché Boulevard

Official title: Rehabilitation of the Gatineau Parkway between Alexandre-Taché Boulevard and the former Gamelin Street, Gatineau

Closed Community Planning Environment & Climate Transportation
The National Capital Commission wants to fix a 2.7-km stretch of the Gatineau Parkway that's in rough shape. The road surface is deteriorating, drainage isn't working properly, and culverts need replacing. Construction is set to start in June 2025.

Why This Matters

Use the Gatineau Parkway to access hiking trails or scenic viewpoints? This section stays open year-round, unlike the rest of the parkway network. The repairs will keep the road safe and accessible, but expect construction disruptions starting June 2025.

What Could Change

The NCC will rebuild parts of the road, install new concrete curbs and drainage systems, replace broken culverts, and fix guardrails near the Allumettières viaduct. Some trees will be removed, with compensation plantings planned. The shuttle service to Gatineau Park will continue operating.

Key Issues

  • How will road construction affect access to Gatineau Park?
  • What measures will protect trees and wildlife during construction?
  • How will drainage issues be resolved along the parkway?
