Chief William Commanda Bridge (former Prince of Wales Bridge)

This is effectively my downtown loop concept with the additional feeds coming from north, south and east. The brown route should do the full circle and the blue Gatineau routes should be bi-directional and also do the full circle. One blue route going clockwise and the other counter-clockwise.

The challenge is how this can connect to Rideau Station.

My original idea had it be a surface route on Albert and Slater in reserved lanes and cross the MacKenzie King bridge and then cross through the Market (Dalhousie), which gets us within a block of Rideau Station.

Doing it as a tunnel means a number of broad curves from the Interprovincial Bridge through the market and then curve back to perhaps Laurier. How close will this be going to the American Embassy and DND headquarters to execute reasonable curves?

At Bayview needs corridors preserved from the Trillium Line and the POW bridge to curve rail onto or under Albert Street.
