Pont Sainte-Anne

Pont Sainte-Anne is a steel bridge crossing the Saguenay River with six fixed spans and a central rotating section. The structure features distinctive steel trusses that form its framework across the water.

Construction began in 1931 and finished in 1933 after decades of planning finally came to fruition. The project represented a major undertaking for the developing region at that time.

The bridge has long served as a meeting point connecting the two riverbanks and shaping how locals move through their city. It remains woven into the daily rhythm and memories of the community.

The bridge now serves only pedestrians and cyclists connecting both riverbanks. Access is straightforward, and the open structure provides clear views across the water.

The central section features a rotating span powered by electric motors that opens for passing river traffic. This engineering feature showcases 1930s innovation in bridge design.
