Pont Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, Steel bridge in Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, Canada
The Pont Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague is a steel bridge in Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague that spans the Beauharnois Canal with a main lifting section and numerous approach spans. The structure carries both highway and railway traffic across the waterway, serving as a major crossing for the region.
The bridge was built in 1957 by the Dominion Bridge Company of Montreal to cross the Beauharnois Canal. Its construction marked an important moment in connecting the communities on either side of the waterway for both road and rail transport.
The bridge represents a crucial element of Quebec's transportation network, connecting communities while facilitating maritime traffic through its vertical lift mechanism.
When the lift section is operating for vessel passage, travelers can use the nearby Larocque Bridge as an alternative route. This alternate crossing helps you avoid delays and maintain traffic flow during lift operations.
The structure features a movable center section that lifts to allow ships traveling the Seaway route to pass underneath. This engineering solution lets both road traffic and vessel passage share the same crossing without major obstacles.
