Pont de l'Île d'Orléans - St. Lawrence River, Québec - Suspension Bridges on Waymarking.com

Pont de l'Île, is a suspension bridge that spans the St. Lawrence River and joins Île d'Orléans to the mainland. It was opened in 1935 and originally called Taschereau Bridge in honour of Louis-Alexandre Taschereau, the Premier of Quebec and Member of Provincial Parliament for the local Montmorency riding at the time.

The building of the bridge significantly altered the way of life of the island’s inhabitants who, until then, were relatively isolated in the middle of the St. Lawrence. The only way to reach the mainland in the summer was by boat, and in the winter, by crossing the ice bridge formed when the river froze up.
