The 'Île d'Orléans Bridge', known locally as the 'Pont de l'Île', is a
suspension bridge that spans the
Saint Lawrence River between
Montmorency Falls, in
Quebec City, and
Île d'Orléans (Isle of Orleans) in the
Canadian province of
Quebec. This suspension
bridge was constructed in
1934 to answer a electoral promise made by Premier
Louis-Alexandre Taschereau to Montmorency County. Before, the island was accessible by
ferry.
It is the furthest downstream of the Saint Lawrence River's fixed crossings, although it does not cross the entire river.
