The Gatineau LRT is a planned 26 km light rail system proposed by the Ville de Gatineau to be located in Gatineau, Quebec as well as Ottawa, Ontario.[1] The western terminus will be at chemin Eardley and boulevard des Allumetières in Gatineau, connecting to Rideau Centre and the Confederation Line in Ottawa via the Alexandra Bridge. A spur line at boulevards Alexandre-Taché and Saint-Joseph will cross the Prince of Wales Bridge to the Bayview Station, where it will connect with the Trillium and Confederation Lines. Another spur line at Alexandre-Taché and boulevard Saint-Raymond will connect to the Plateau neighbourhood. It is expected to open in 2028.[2]
