Tour Eiffel Bridge, bridge in Gatineau, Canada

The Tour Eiffel Bridge, also called the Montcalm Street Bridge, crosses Brewery Creek on rue Montcalm in Gatineau's Hull sector. Architects Paul Martineau and Eric Haar modelled the small ornate structure on Parisian style, and it stands beside the old water tower converted into the Les Brasseurs du Temps restaurant. A steel suspension girder from the Eiffel Tower is built into it.

Built in 1990, this bridge incorporates an authentic steel girder from the original Eiffel Tower structure, donated by Paris mayor Jacques Chirac. The project arose from a desire to honor the historical connection between Gatineau and Paris and establish a local landmark.

A plaque near the bridge records that the girder was given by Jacques Chirac, Mayor of Paris, to Michel Légère, Mayor of Hull, on 25 July 1990. Its text presents the piece as a visible and physical sign of Hull's French cultural identity.
