Chateauguay Valley bridges

We took a little tour of the Chateauguay river on Saturday. Most trees were naked, the sky was surprisingly blue, and wind was sometimes in our favour, but mostly not.



Mélèze (Tamarack/larch) trees in Ste-Martine riverside park




Ormstown's steel arch bridge.




Is not Pont Barré - new signage and gabarit permits vehicles with maximum height of 2.3 m to cross the bridge (jan2011).

Pedestrians and bikes can still cross.




The first section of Pont Mercier bridge's new bike sidewalk is completed.




Is this part of a new bike path from the Pont Mercier to Chateauguay?




The bridge's old sidewalk meets the new sidewalk, a work in progress.

We saw a pedestrian crossing the bridge.
