Olivier-Charbonneau Bridge, Steel toll bridge in Duvernay, Canada

The Olivier-Charbonneau Bridge spans 1200 meters across the Rivière des Prairies, connecting Montreal with Laval through six traffic lanes and a cycling path.

The construction of this steel bridge began in 2008 and concluded in 2011, marking a new era in Montreal's transportation network with its electronic toll system.

The bridge received its name in 2012 to honor Olivier Charbonneau, a French frontiersman who contributed to the early development of Quebec in the 17th century.

The bridge accommodates over 35,000 vehicles daily, with electronic tolls allowing continuous traffic flow between Montreal's Rivière-des-Prairies district and Laval's Saint-François area.

Electric vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians can cross this bridge without paying tolls, making it one of only two toll bridges in the entire Quebec province.
