Pont Prud'homme, Covered bridge in Brébeuf, Canada

The wooden bridge stretches 44.1 meters across the Rivière du Diable with a width of 6 meters, featuring a Town lattice truss design.

Bernardin Durocher supervised the construction of the bridge in 1918, completing the project in six weeks at a cost of 6,000 Canadian dollars.

The structure changed names from Pont de l'Armistice to Pont Prud'homme in 1957 to honor a local family who contributed to the regional development.

The bridge remained closed to vehicles since 2019 following a Ministry of Transport inspection, requiring travelers to use a 12-kilometer detour route.

For four decades, Alphonse Prud'homme voluntarily spread snow inside the bridge during winter months to enable sleigh passage across the structure.
