Saint-Laurent Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in LaSalle, Canada
The 1200-meter steel railway bridge crosses the Saint Lawrence River, connecting LaSalle with the Mohawk reserve of Kahnawake through two lifting sections.
The original structure, completed in 1887, underwent major reconstruction in 1913 to accommodate increased rail traffic and heavier locomotives of the early 20th century.
The bridge stands as a connection point between French Canadian and Mohawk communities, serving both freight transport and commuter trains on the RTM Candiac line.
The structure maintains a clearance of 18 meters above the water, with lifting mechanisms installed in 1959 to allow passage of ships on the Saint Lawrence Seaway.
At its inauguration, the bridge featured the longest continuous metal truss span in the world, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of the late 19th century.
