- sanju_222323New Jersey17,974 contributionsThe construction of the bridge over the Saint Lawrence River began in 1925, and it was inaugurated in 1930. The original name of this structure was Pont du Havre, but it was later renamed the Jacques Cartier Bridge.
why the name ?- Jacques Cartier is one of the most important characters in Canada, he was the first European explorer to reach the coasts of Montreal and interact with the native tribes in the area.
the Jacques Cartier Bridge has gained a lot of international notoriety thanks to its LED lights, which were installed in 2017, as part of a modernization project. The lights, which vary in color and intensity, illuminate the route of this road passage and can be seen from both ends of the shore of the Saint Lawrence River.Written July 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BernieVancouver, Canada991 contributionsThe Jacques Cartier Bridge, also known as Pont Jacques-Cartier in French, is a significant steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Saint Lawrence River, connecting Montreal Island in Montreal, Quebec to the south shore at Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. This historic and iconic bridge, which was built in 1930, is the third busiest bridge in Canada. It features five lanes for vehicular traffic as well as a separate path for cyclists and pedestrians. The bridge offers breathtaking views of Montreal City and the beautiful blue waters of the Saint Lawrence River. Inaugurated in 1930, the Jacques Cartier Bridge is an emblematic structure and an icon of Greater Montreal, providing essential access between Montreal and Longueuil, as well as to Île Sainte-Hélène.Written October 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
