Pont de l'Arche de Noé, Covered bridge in Rochebaucourt, Canada.

The Pont de l'Arche de Noé extends 39 meters across Ruisseau Tourville, featuring a traditional single-lane wooden construction with lattice truss design.

Built in 1937 during the colonization period of Abitibi, this bridge represents one of 34 covered bridges constructed in the region at that time.

The structure, listed in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Directory, received its name after repeatedly being carried away by floods and needing repositioning.

Originally designed with a 15-tonne weight capacity, the bridge remained operational until 2010 when it closed due to structural maintenance requirements.

A metal support pillar was added to the wooden structure in 1985, and the bridge's color changed from grey to red during the 1980s.
