Samuel-De
Champlain
Bridge
Known locally as the Champlain Bridge, and designed by architect Poul Ove Jensen, the Samuel-De Champlain Bridge carries six lanes of automobile traffic as well as lanes for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. It is integral to the infrastructure of Montreal.
Almost three and a half kilometres long, the Champlain Bridge creates a multi-use pathway that allows vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to move safely between Montreal and the South Shore year round. Considered the busiest bridge in Canada, it connects L’Île-des-Soeurs – from the Claude-Robutel roundabout at the intersection of René-Lévesque Boulevard and Jacques-Le Ber Street – and the La Riveraine trail in Brossard. Four belvederes offer an impressive view of the St. Lawrence River, the seaway and downtown Montreal.
