Quebec Bridge

The Quebec Bridge extends 987 meters across the Saint Lawrence River, connecting the cities of Quebec and Levis with steel trusses and multiple traffic lanes.

The structure endured two construction disasters in 1907 and 1916, leading to 88 casualties before its final completion and inauguration in December 1919.

The bridge functions as both a memorial site for fallen workers and a symbol of engineering advancement, recognized as a National Historic Site in 1995.

The structure accommodates three highway lanes, one railway track, and a pedestrian walkway, serving as a vital transportation link between the north and south shores.

The Quebec Bridge maintains its status as the world's longest cantilever bridge span, measuring 549 meters between its main supports.
