The City of Kingston is building a Third Crossing bridge across the Cataraqui River from the foot of Gore Road in the city's east-end to the foot of John Counter Boulevard in its west-end. The new bridge connecting the east and west side communities will improve emergency services response, increase active transportation through a multi-use pedestrian and bike pathway, create business connections on the east and west sides of the river, and help residents get to work on time and back home safely. It will be a new bridge designed to enhance the life of community residents and visitors of Kingston meeting the highest engineering standards.
The bridge is the largest infrastructure project the City has ever undertaken and is being funded by all three levels of government – each contributing $60 million.
This project is being led by a project team that is looking forward to connecting with you and hearing your ideas and innovations about integrating our new bridge in the Kingston community.
