It is part of Quebec Autoroute 19 and is one of the connections between Laval and Montreal, Quebec, Canada, spanning Rivière des Prairies. It was fabricated from weathering steel and has an orthotropic deck. The freeway ends abruptly at the southern end of the bridge at the intersection of Henri Bourassa Boulevard, where Autoroute 19 follows Avenue Papineau down to Quebec Autoroute 40. The ''Leblanc'' portion of the name comes from the name of a street in Laval that was expropriated to build the autoroute. That street was named after Alpha Leblanc, a local landowner. Portions of that street remain on both sides of the autoroute. In 2000, a proposition to rename the bridge after the late Pietro Rizzuto was initially approved, then rejected by the ''Commission de Toponymie du Québec'', which ruled that the name ''Papineau-Leblanc'' was already entrenched in local culture and non-controversia ...
