Pont de la Concorde

The structure extends 690.4 meters (2,265 feet) across the Saint Lawrence River, linking downtown Montreal with Île Sainte-Hélène through four traffic lanes.

Opened on October 21, 1965, the crossing formed part of infrastructure improvements planned for hosting Expo 67, the international exposition held two years later.

From 1967 until 1972, the Expo Express operated along the bridge deck, linking exhibition pavilions and attractions across both islands with regular transit service.

The crossing provides dedicated lanes for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, offering access to Montreal Casino and attractions throughout Parc Jean-Drapeau year round.

The name references Montreal's motto 'Concordia salus', while its position during Expo 67 symbolically connected the American and Soviet pavilions on opposite shores.
