Victoria Bridge, officially known as Victoria Jubilee Bridge, is a bridge over the St. Lawrence River, linking Montreal, Quebec, to the south shore city of Saint-Lambert. Opened in 1859, the bridge was the first to span the St. Lawrence River, and as such is an important historic bridge in Canada. It remains in use to this day, carrying both road and rail traffic, with rails in the middle and roadways on both sides.

  • Victoria Bridge, officially known as Victoria Jubilee Bridge, is a bridge over the St. Lawrence River, linking Montreal, Quebec, to the south shore city of Saint-Lambert. Opened in 1859, the bridge was the first to span the St. Lawrence River, and as such is an important historic bridge in Canada. It remains in use to this day, carrying both road and rail traffic, with rails in the middle and roadways on both sides. It is actively used by the Canadian National Railway on its Halifax to Montreal main line. It is a major contributor to Montreal's role as a continental hub in the North American rail system. Originally named the Victoria Bridge in honour of Queen Victoria, it was officially rededicated as the Victoria Jubilee Bridge following renovations in 1897. However it is still commonly referred to by its original name as simply the "Victoria Bridge". The bridge is approximately 3 kilometres (2 miles) long, and includes 24 ice-breaking piers.
  • El Puente Victoria en Montreal cruza el río San Lorenzo entre la Isla de Montreal y la ciudad de Longueuil. El Puente Victoria, acabado en 1859, se define como un puente tubular. El príncipe de Gales vino a inaugurarlo en nombre de la reina Victoria, su madre, en 1860. Primer enlace de la isla de Montreal con tierra firme, se reservó únicamente a los trenes hasta 1899. En 1898, se sustituyó la estructura del puente, creando así el "Jubilee Bridge", que aún hoy permite el paso de los coches y trenes. En las obras de adaptación de la Vía marítima del San Lorenzo, en los años sesenta, se añadió la carretera de circunvalación de Saint-Lambert.
  • Le pont Victoria à Montréal, est le premier pont historique sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent, pont tubulaire à l'origine, aujourd'hui en charpente métallique, qui enjambe le fleuve entre l'île de Montréal et la ville de Saint-Lambert sur la rive droite. Le pont est détenu et exploité par le Canadien National en partenariat avec le gouvernement fédéral et le Ministère des transports du Québec.
