Selon Wikipedia, le pont Aylmer est un pont routier situé à Sherbrooke qui relie le centre-ville de cette ville aux quartiers situés sur la rive droite, en enjambant la rivière Saint-François. Il est une des composantes de la rue King, l'artère principale de la ville. Il dessert la région administrative de l'Estrie.
La première construction sur le site de l'actuel pont Aylmer fut un pont couvert en bois, qui fut érigé en 1837. Il fut démoli quelques années plus tard. En 1929, un pont en acier est construit. Cette version comporte alors quatre voies de circulation4.
Finalement, la troisième version du pont, en béton précontraint, fut complétée en 1989.
