		The issue of the Champlain Bridge is again up for debate with the NCC's decision to conduct an environmental impact study (EIS) on options for its reconstruction.
		Now the deterioration of the deck and other structural elements of the bridge, which spans the Ottawa River from Island Park Drive to Boulevard Lucerne on the Aylmer side, have made change of some sort mandatory.
		Five others propose reconstructing the existing two lanes, and a final and unlikely option is simply to let the bridge deteriorate until it has to be closed.
