Victoria Bridge, Railway bridge in Montreal, Canada

The Victoria Bridge extends 1800 meters across the Saint Lawrence River, connecting Montreal with Saint-Lambert through an iron truss structure.

The railway bridge, completed in 1859 under architect James Hodges, underwent substantial modifications between 1897 and 1898 to accommodate increasing traffic demands.

The bridge represents a cornerstone of North American railway infrastructure, facilitating continental transport connections through the Saint Lawrence River crossing point.

The structure carries both railway tracks in its center section and vehicle lanes on each side, serving as Route 112 for automotive traffic.

The bridge construction required 24 ice-breaking pillars to withstand the intense winter conditions and ice formations of the Saint Lawrence River.
