Pont Canada, Road bridge in Tréguier, France

Pont Canada is a concrete and steel bridge spanning the Jaudy estuary and linking the towns on either side of the waterway. The structure stretches 153 meters across the water and rises about 26 meters above it.

A first suspension bridge, the earliest of its kind in Brittany, opened here on 25 May 1834, financed by a toll granted to the Tréguier merchant Ozou and lifted in 1873. A metal truss bridge with masonry piers replaced it on 13 November 1886, one span destroyed by an American engineer unit on 14 August 1944. The present reinforced-concrete arch bridge was built from 1951 to 1954 and inaugurated on 25 July 1954.

The name likely derives from the Breton Keneuta, meaning to gather or cut firewood, and the crossing was already called "bac du Canada" by 1691. The bridge carries the D786 between Tréguier and Trédarzec, replacing a ferry service that ended in 1835.

The bridge is easily accessible via the D786 road and features pedestrian walkways that offer views of the estuary and surrounding countryside. Crossing is straightforward for both vehicles and people on foot.

The current bridge was the first of its kind built in Europe: a reinforced-concrete arch bridge with an intermediate deck and steel hangers. Its two arches total 153 m, with 26 m between the deck and the arch tops and 12.30 m between the arches. A single timber centring served for both arches, shifted in one piece from the first to the second.
