Champlain Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Montreal, Canada

The Samuel-De Champlain Bridge spans 3.4 kilometers across the Saint Lawrence River, connecting Montreal's Nuns' Island to the city of Brossard with eight traffic lanes.

Construction of the bridge began in June 2015 to replace the original 1962 structure, leading to its official inauguration on June 28, 2019.

The bridge carries the name of French explorer Samuel de Champlain, reflecting the historical connections between Quebec and France through its modern infrastructure.

The structure accommodates 159,000 vehicles daily and includes dedicated paths for pedestrians, cyclists, and tracks for the Réseau express métropolitain light rail system.

The bridge features a central tower shaped like a tuning fork, rising 170 meters high and supporting an asymmetric design that prioritizes multi-modal transportation.
