The bridge was built by the National Capital Commission in 1973 and expanded in 1988.[1] The bridge is named after the historic Portage Trail around the Chaudière Falls and Rapids which ended near the present location of the bridge.
On March 30, 2019, construction work began which includes improving safety of the bidirectional cycle track, adjustment to the motor vehicle lanes to accommodate the cycle track, repairs to the drains and the bridge expansion joints, and the asphalt surface of the bridge's northbound HOV lane.[2]
