Pont Marius-Dufresne, Road bridge across Mille Îles River in Quebec, Canada.

The steel structure extends 486 meters in length, connecting Laval and Rosemère municipalities with four traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway.

Named after engineer Marius Dufresne, who died in an accident during construction in 1945, the bridge replaced earlier structures dating back to 1832.

The underside of the bridge features an evolving collection of street art, reflecting the local urban expression in the Sainte-Rose district.

The bridge carries approximately 24,900 vehicles daily along Route 117, serving as a primary connection between the administrative regions of Laval and Laurentides.

Following structural concerns in 1997, the bridge underwent major repairs while maintaining its role as an essential transportation link across the Mille Îles River.
