Larocque Bridge

The Larocque Bridge is a steel structure spanning the Beauharnois Canal in Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka that carries both vehicle and train traffic. The bridge connects both sides of the waterway and enables continuous movement between the neighboring communities.

The bridge was built in 1957 and created a vital transportation link for the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield region. It enabled both rail and road traffic across the canal and supported economic activity in the surrounding area.

The bridge links communities on opposite sides of the waterway, enabling regular exchanges between residents and facilitating economic development in the surrounding municipalities.

You can view and photograph the bridge from several vantage points along the area. Cyclists can connect to paths that lead toward the hydroelectric dam and Lac-Saint-Francois.

From the bridge, you can watch cargo boats passing underneath while trains travel on the rails above. This sight demonstrates how different transportation modes share the same space.
