*** About Jacques Cartier Bridge: The Jacques Cartier Bridge is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Saint Lawrence River connecting Montreal to the city of Longueuil. Opened in 1930, the bridge displays an impressive structural design typical of early 20th-century engineering. It serves as a crucial conduit for daily commuters and also plays a pivotal role during public events in Montreal, notably during fireworks festivals when it is magnificently illuminated. The bridge, named after the French explorer who was one of the first Europeans to navigate the river, is a National Historic Site of Canada and an enduring symbol of Montreal’s robust infrastructure and rich history.
