Champlain Bridge, Road bridge connecting Ottawa and Gatineau, Canada

The Champlain Bridge spans the Ottawa River with steel truss construction and provides passage between Ontario and Quebec provinces.

Named after explorer Samuel de Champlain, this bridge opened in 1924 and strengthened the connection between the capital regions of both provinces.

The bridge represents the bilingual nature of the National Capital Region, connecting French-speaking Gatineau with English-speaking Ottawa.

The structure carries thousands of federal government employees across the Ottawa River each day as part of their regular commute.

The bridge's location offers direct views of Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada from its crossing points.
