You can now watch a video of the 'rapid replacement' of Ottawa's aging Booth Street Bridge.

CeeCam Corporation released the time-lapsed video that shows the 76 hours of work it took to complete the bridge replacement in the city's west end, between Thursday, Aug. 11 and Monday, Aug. 15.

The project was the first of five bridge replacements happening in Ottawa over the next three years. The Rochester Street Bridge is scheduled to be replaced in the fall, followed by the bridges at Bronson Avenue and Percy Street in the summer of 2023.

The Preston Street Overpass is the last project om tap, which will happen sometime in 2024.
