Move forward on a toll-free replacement for the Champlain Bridge.

What success looks like

Toll-free Samuel De Champlain Bridge opened by December 2018.

Government's narrative on progress

The Champlain Bridge is vital to its daily users and plays an important role in the Canadian economy. The Government of Canada's priority is to deliver a quality, toll-free Samuel De Champlain Bridge as soon as possible without compromising the safety of workers and the public, and ensuring sound management of taxpayers' money. The opening will take place no later than June 2019. The current bridge is safe and continuously monitored in real time.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
