Galipeault Bridge, Steel bridge between L'Ile-Perrot and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Canada.
Galipeault Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Ottawa River, linking L'Ile-Perrot to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue on Montreal's West Island. It carries four traffic lanes as part of Highway 20 and serves as a main passage for vehicles traveling between these communities.
The original bridge opened in 1925 and underwent a complete rebuilding in 1991 while keeping its original foundation supports in place. This renovation allowed the structure to meet modern traffic demands while preserving its historical foundations.
The bridge carries the name of Antonin Galipeault, a former Quebec minister of public works who served under Louis-Alexandre Taschereau's administration.
The bridge is open to traffic throughout the year but may be closed during severe weather or emergencies. Visitors should expect heavy traffic during rush hours, as this is a major commuter route between the two areas.
During the 2019 floods, the bridge faced temporary closure, which led to free access on alternative routes for affected travelers. This unexpected shutdown highlighted how essential the link is to regional transportation and the impact its absence had on local communities.
