how many bridges connect montreal to its suburbs?

vid · #64 Posted **Jan 8, 2009, 10:05 PM**

I counted 16 on my map. There appears to be another planned east of St. Vincent de Paul.

This is probably the smallest suspension bridge in Canada.
And it is the only suspension bridge in Toronto.

The Sewells Road bridge about 10 minutes from Miketoronto's house.
Located in North East Scarborough(Toronto) in the Rouge Park. It is only one lane.

That one is really neat...from that angle it looks like the freeway to nowhere.

This is the Souris Suspension Bridge, Souris, Manitoba. Once claimed to be the longest in Canada but it appears Eagle Canyon/Thunder Bay and possibly others are longer. It's 554' or 584' in length and very bouncy.
Originally built over 100 years ago by the land owner so he could access his land on the other side of the Souris river.

It's long but not nearly as high as Capilano or Eagle Canyon.

Recently opened Park (10 Mile) Bridge, 16 km east of Golden, BC / 240 km west of Calgary:

And even save some time heading out to the Shuswap

That's really cool!

Time to bring this thread from the dead

One of my favorite bridges, the Burrard St. Bridge in Vancouver.

Photo is my own

And underneath the Granville St. Bridge from Today.

Pictures are my own

^^Really nice bridge top and bottom. Here is the TTC Subway Tunnel bridge over Rosedale Valley.

ok, but can someone explain to me the point in a tunnel bridge? is it to keep snow off the tracks or something.

Daveography · #76 Posted **Feb 7, 2009, 3:42 AM**

^ Likely; the third-rail system is prone to shorting in snowy conditions.

It would be pretty awesome if they enclosed it in glass instead.

Wow, the Park Bridge is easily my favourite new Canadian bridge.

Here's another of the wonderful Burrard St. Bridge from a different angle and a different time of year.

Picture by me.

Shouldn't this be in a separate thread: UGLIEST Canadian Bridges?

Purely Aesthetics? Possibly wind sheer? As you can see in the photo, there used to be some fairly large holes in the roof
