I agree. The Alexandra birdge should go. It is an ugly railway bridge. If it were not in the middle of the capital, I would say it is not so bad. But its prominent location makes it an eyesore.

There are many who would argue the Alexandra Bridge is a historical gem. A heritage structure. I say it's ugly and unbefitting for a national capital city. It's a depressing looking structure that conjures up images of harder times. If that's the look they're going for then they've got it bang on. To me it looks run down and quite frankly driving to Quebec on it scares the hell out of me. Put it in a museum and replace it with something to behold.
... and yes, I know this would be very very very very expensive. So yeah, let's just forget it I guess.
