Louis Bisson Bridge, Highway bridge connecting Pierrefonds-Roxboro and Chomedey, Canada.
Description
The Louis Bisson Bridge crosses the Rivière des Prairies for roughly half a kilometer, linking Pierrefonds-Roxboro to Chomedey. It carries seven traffic lanes, including a center reversible lane that adjusts direction based on traffic needs.
History
The structure was named after Canadian aviation pioneer Louis Bisson and became a major link along Quebec Highway 13 between Montreal and Laval. Its construction addressed growing transportation demands in the region and shaped how traffic flows across the river.
Culture
The bridge forms a practical link in the daily routines of local residents who travel between these two communities on the river's opposite banks. It enables people to move freely between neighborhoods without detours.
Practical
The bridge is open to vehicle traffic throughout the day and is regularly monitored by transportation authorities. Motorcyclists and pedestrians should expect typical highway conditions, with busier periods during morning and evening commute times.
Did you know?
The bridge features a permanent zipper lane system in its center that switches direction based on traffic volume during different times of day. This flexible design helps keep traffic moving smoothly during rush periods.
