Lachapelle Bridge
Lachapelle Bridge, in French Pont Lachapelle, (1930 and 1975) Also known as Cartierville Bridge. This bridge spans the Rivière des Prairies between the Montreal borough of Ahuntsic-Cartierville and the Laval, Quebec, Laval (Île Jésus) neighbourhood of Chomedey, Quebec, Chomedey. Actually there are Twin bridges, two bridges, side by side and parallel: The older (1930) three lane span, on the down stream side, carries the traffic north into Laval. The newer (1975) three lane span, on the up stream side, carries the traffic south into Montreal. Except for the length and the distance between the piers, the two spans are not identical. A wooden bridge was originally built there in 1836, replaced by a steel one, built in 1882.

Bridges In Laval, Quebec
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or railway) without blocking the path underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge, dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese is one of the oldest arch bridges in existence and use. Etymology The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' traces the origin of the word ''br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bridges In Montreal
Like most major cities, Montreal needs easy highway access from its suburbs and surrounding areas. However, because Montreal was built on Island of Montreal, an island surrounded by three rivers, it can be entered by land only on a bridge or through a tunnel. Although the city was founded in 1642, it was not until 1847 that the first fixed link to the outside was established when a wooden bridge was built across Rivière des Prairies to Île Jésus, on the site of what is now Ahuntsic Bridge. Another bridge was built immediately afterward, a few kilometers west, which became Lachapelle Bridge, and another in 1849, Pont des Saints-Anges, to the east. The latter bridge collapsed in the 1880s and was never rebuilt. With the advent of the railroad, Montreal got a fixed link to the mainland; in 1854 railroad bridges were built in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, across both channels of the Ottawa River, linking Montreal Island to Ontario and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges peninsula through Perrot Isla ...

Twin Bridges
Twin bridges are a set of two bridges running parallel to each other. A pair of twin bridges is often referred to collectively as a twin-span or dual-span bridge. Twin bridges are independent structures and each bridge has its own superstructure, substructure, and foundation. Bridges of this type are often created by building a new bridge parallel to an existing one in order to increase the traffic capacity of the crossing. While most twin-span bridges consist of two identical bridges, this is not always the case. For a bridge owner, twin bridges can improve the maintenance and management of the structures. For motorists, twin bridges can limit the risk that both directions of traffic will be disrupted by an accident. Examples * Carquinez Bridge – original cantilever span built in 1927 and later twinned in 1958; a newer suspension span was built in 2003 to replace the original 1927 span, which was later demolished in 2007. *Chesapeake Bay Bridge – twin suspension spans w ...
