Lachapelle Bridge, Bridge across Rivière des Prairies in Montreal and Laval, Canada
The Lachapelle Bridge extends 331.5 meters over the Rivière des Prairies with two parallel spans supporting three traffic lanes in each direction.
The current bridge structure replaced a wooden bridge from 1848 and a steel bridge from 1882, with the first span opening on May 24, 1930.
The bridge name reflects the French-Canadian heritage of the region, connecting the Montreal borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville with the Laval neighborhood of Chomedey.
The bridge carries approximately 38,000 vehicles daily, with the northbound span measuring 15.5 meters in width and falling under Laval city maintenance.
Each of the parallel spans features distinct engineering characteristics, with the northbound structure dating to 1930 and the southbound addition completed in 1975.
