Montreal (Two Famous St. Lawrence Bridges)

The original Victoria Tubular Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, and opened by the Prince of Wales in 1860, was replaced in 1898-99 by the Victoria-Jubilee Bridge, a pin-connected truss structure, with twenty-five spans. It cost $20,000,000 and is operated by the Grand Trunk Railway. The Lachine Bridge of the Canadian Pacific Railway is a light and graceful piece of work built on the cantilever principle. Each channel spans 408 feet long.
