Macdonald-Cartier Bridge
Macdonald-Cartier Bridge

The Macdonald-Cartier Bridge (French: Pont Macdonald-Cartier) is a bridge connecting Ottawa, Ontario, to Gatineau, Quebec. The bridge is a 618 m long continuous steel box girder bridge and carries six lanes of traffic. It links King Edward Avenue and Sussex Drive in Ottawa with Autoroute 5 in Quebec. It is the easternmost bridge linking Ottawa to Gatineau, running just east of the Alexandra Bridge. The bridge was built from 1963 to 1965 by the federal government and the governments of the two provinces. It is owned and maintained by Public Works and Government Services Canada. It was named after John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier, joint premiers of the Province of Canada, and the name is representative of the link between French and English Canada. There are sidewalks on both sides of the bridge intended for use by pedestrians and cyclists. Immediately after the bridge on the Gatineau side, the road becomes part of the Autoroute where cyclists and pedestrians are prohibited. However, they can then use paths leading to Laurier Street. The Ottawa side was to connect with Vanier Parkway, and some piers where it would cross the Rideau River remain from the Canadian Pacific Railway's Sussex Street Subdivision, but this was cancelled because the route would have taken much of New Edinburgh Park. Instead, King Edward Avenue was widened up to the one-way pair of St. Patrick Street and Murray Street to the St. Patrick Street Bridge over the Rideau River, which connects with the north end of Vanier Parkway. This provides a four-lane connection between the bridge and Highway 417. Construction is now underway to realign the entrance ramps on the Ontario side, removing any possibility of further extensions.

Kìwekì Point
Kìwekì Point

Kìwekì Point (), formerly Nepean Point is a hill overlooking the Ottawa River in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is located between the National Gallery of Canada and Alexandra Bridge. The site is managed by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The hill had originally been named after Evan Nepean. At the peak of the hill is a statue of French explorer Samuel de Champlain holding his famous astrolabe upside-down. It was made by sculptor Hamilton MacCarthy in 1915. Previously, the statue also featured a kneeling Anishinabe scout, added in 1918 to "signify how the native people helped Champlain navigate through the waters of the Ottawa River". The scout statue has since been relocated to nearby Major's Hill Park and was renamed "Kitchi Zibi Omàmìwininì" in 2013. The original site also featured several other sculptures and an amphitheatre known as "Astrolabe Theatre". In November 2019, the site was closed to begin a redevelopment project lead by Janet Rosenberg & Studio, Patkau Architects, Blackwell Structural Engineers, and ERA Architects Inc. The new site, scheduled for completion in 2024, will feature two accessible lookouts, a shelter, and a pedestrian bridge connecting the site to Major's Hill Park. During the development's planning, the NCC consulted with representatives of Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn. On October 4, 2022, Nepean Point was renamed Kìwekì Point in order to "highlight Algonquin voices, and showcase Algonquin culture and language". Kìwekì means "returning to one's homeland" in Algonquin.
