Papineau-Leblanc Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge across Rivière des Prairies between Montreal and Laval, Canada.
The Papineau-Leblanc Bridge extends 458.6 meters over the Rivière des Prairies with six traffic lanes and a central span of 241 meters.
Built in 1969, this structure represented one of the first cable-stayed bridges constructed in North America, incorporating weathering steel and an orthotropic deck design.
The bridge name combines Avenue Papineau in Montreal and Alpha Leblanc, a local landowner from Laval whose street was used for the highway construction.
This bridge carries approximately 56,000 vehicles daily on Autoroute 19, connecting Montreal's Henri Bourassa Boulevard to the Laval municipality.
The bridge features an advanced engineering design with steel cables supporting the deck from towers, allowing for longer spans without intermediate supports.
