🌉 Samuel-De Champlain Bridge

The Samuel-De Champlain Bridge, colloquially known as the Champlain Bridge, is a cable-stayed bridge designed by architect Poul Ove Jensen and built to replace the original Champlain Bridge over the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, between Nuns' Island in the borough of Verdun in Montreal and the suburban city of Brossard on the South Shore. A second, connected bridge links Nuns' Island to the main Island of Montreal. It is the second busiest bridge in Canada, behind only the Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver, carrying approximately 137,000 vehicles/day annually.
