The federal government has reached an agreement to buy back the Pont de Québec from the Canadian National Railway (CN).
Radio-Canada has confirmed the buyback and says that an official announcement will happen in the coming days.
In December, Jean-Yves Duclos, the minister of public services and procurement, told Radio-Canada that the federal government had sent an offer to CN to buy the bridge.
The bridge was privatized in 1993 and is the property of CN, which manages the bridge, although the Quebec government is the bridge’s main tenant.
In 2019, the federal government said it intended to buy back the structure.
