Charles de Gaulle Bridge, Steel bridge between Repentigny and Rivière-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles, Canada.
The Charles de Gaulle Bridge extends 1045.4 meters across the Rivière des Prairies, connecting Montreal's eastern tip to the Lanaudière region of Quebec.
The bridge opened in 1965, establishing a vital transportation link between Montreal and the northern regions along the Saint Lawrence River.
Named after French President Charles de Gaulle, the bridge represents the strong French influence on Quebec's infrastructure development during the 1960s.
The structure carries six lanes of Quebec Autoroute 40 traffic, serving as a primary route between Montreal and the cities of Trois-Rivières and Quebec City.
Morning traffic patterns often create extensive backups reaching into Repentigny, while afternoon congestion primarily affects the eastbound lanes toward Charlemagne.
