Jordi-Bonet Bridge
The Jordi-Bonet Bridge (french: pont Jordi-Bonet) is a road bridge linking Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire and spanning the Richelieu River, in La Vallée-du-Richelieu Regional County Municipality, in Montérégie, Québec, Canada. This bridge mainly serves residents of the Beloeil-Mont-Saint-Hilaire region, as well as traffic connecting Saint-Bruno to Saint-Hyacinthe, along Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard. The bridge serves as a crossing for Quebec Route 116 and 229. It has four traffic lanes, two in each direction, which are separated by a double central line. A bicycle path and sidewalk are also provided on the north side of the bridge. In addition to the river, the bridge spans Route 223 (''rue Richelieu'') on the left bank and Route 133 (''chemin des Patriotes'') on the right bank of the Richelieu River. Access roads connect these two roads to the bridge. Daily traffic on this bridge is estimated at 44,000 vehicles, for an annual average of 16 million vehicles. Histor ...

Quebec Route 116
Route 116 is an east/west highway on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. Until the mid-1970s it was known as Route 9. Its eastern terminus is in Lévis at the junction of Route 132, and the western terminus is at the junction of Route 134 in Lemoyne part of a concurrency with Route 112 until Saint-Hubert just south of the Saint-Hubert Municipal Airport. The stretch between Lévis and Plessisville does not have much traffic, since Autoroute 20 is not that far from the highway. Between Plessisville and Richmond traffic is heavier as it passes bigger towns, and it is further away from Autoroute 20. From Richmond to Autoroute 20 (which it overlaps for 6 km), it is quiet again, before reaching Saint-Hyacinthe, where it becomes a busy four-lane separated highway, going through the growing "South Shore" suburbs of Montreal. From the junction of Autoroute 30 to its western terminus, it is a controlled-access Autoroute-grade expressway. This portion was ...

Bridges Over The Richelieu River
A bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle (such as a body of water, valley, road, or rail) without blocking the way underneath. It is constructed for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, which is usually something that is otherwise difficult or impossible to cross. There are many different designs of bridges, each serving a particular purpose and applicable to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on factors such as the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, and the material used to make it, and the funds available to build it. The earliest bridges were likely made with fallen trees and stepping stones. The Neolithic people built boardwalk bridges across marshland. The Arkadiko Bridge (dating from the 13th century BC, in the Peloponnese) is one of the oldest arch bridges still in existence and use. Etymology The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' traces the origin of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
