Pont Viau, Concrete bridge in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Canada
The Pont Viau extends 429.6 meters across the Rivière des Prairies, connecting Montreal's Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough with the Laval neighborhood of Pont-Viau.
The current concrete structure, constructed in 1962, replaced an earlier wooden bridge that had stood at this location since 1847.
The bridge's name changed from Ahuntsic Bridge to Pont Viau, reflecting the evolution of the surrounding communities and their interconnected development.
The bridge accommodates four traffic lanes and a dedicated bus lane, serving approximately 36,000 vehicles crossing between Montreal and Laval each weekday.
In 2007, the bridge temporarily closed due to a large hole in the bus lane, but engineers confirmed no structural damage and reopened it within the same day.
