Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge
Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge, Red covered bridge in Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Canada.
The Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge is a wooden covered structure spanning about 149 meters across the Coulonge River. It uses a combination of Town and Queenpost truss designs and measures roughly 5.5 meters wide to accommodate both vehicles and pedestrians.
The structure was built in 1898 and remains the longest covered bridge in the province. Its construction demonstrates the engineering knowledge of late 19th-century Canadian builders.
The bridge appears on a commemorative Canada Post stamp series with four other covered bridges, marking its role in representing rural Quebec's wooden construction heritage. Locals and visitors alike recognize it as a symbol of the region's traditional building practices.
The area around the bridge offers parking and access to both riverbanks. It is best explored on foot or by bicycle to fully appreciate the structure and its riverside setting.
The bridge has a distinctive red exterior and is the only one in the province to combine two different truss design methods. This structural combination makes it a notable example of bridge engineering from its era.
