My favourite bridge in Montreal !!! It's so pretty and attractive at night 😍 In July and August, the bridge is blocked for 2 days a week, only allow people walk on the bridge to enjoy the fireworks festival, really special and unforgettable experience you'll ever have 🤟 Don't miss it 😜

A busy and iconic bridge with a dedicated path for cyclists and pedestrians. It’s a must experience to walk or cycle on this bridge to get some amazing panoramic views of Montreal city! Sunset looks amazing from this bridge and cool breeze of fresh air and turquoise blue waters with some streaks of lighting stars with motorized boats makes it a picture perfect place.

Good place to walk around. Lot of cyclists. Very windy. Decently uphill walk. Great views of the city. Nice green colored bridge structure as well. Go here during daytime and when sunny. Take photos. There are cameras installed too. Be careful of cyclists and those battery operated vehicles.

Iconic bridge of Montréal. It crosses from Montréal island to south shore over saint Laurence river. At light it has a light show. There are 4 mini Eiffel Towers on top of the bridge given a gift from France for Montréal expos 67

On our last night in Montreal, we were able to enjoy the opening night of the 2019 International Fireworks Competition. We opted to view the spectacle from atop the Jacques Cartier Bridge. While there were a great deal of people, the bridge is huge and easily accommodated everyone with ease. There are also lights that illuminate the bridge itself and this was nice to watch before and after the fireworks show. Enjoy the photos (all rights reserved).

Mesmerizing! Built 100 years ago. Hosts 36 million vehicle crossings annually.

Having witnessed the Victoria Bridge, wandering in Montreal for local places of interest, passed through the subject bridge. Another historical bridge of 1930 offering distinct views of the city and surroundings. Learnt in July and August for some specific days the bridge is only open as walkway to let public enjoy the fireworks 💥 and it’s views. Enjoy.

Happy to have a bike path to the city year-round, but the snow removal is infrequent and construction workers are completely oblivious to cyclists. The path is narrow and while I slow down near the workers, they’ve stepped in front of me without checking their surroundings on several occasions.

A stunning piece of engineering! The way it lights up at night is absolutely mesmerizing. Driving across it provides breathtaking views of the cityscape, especially during sunset. The bridge is not just a transportation link; it's a symbol of Montreal's charm. Walking or biking across gives a unique perspective, and the occasional events held on the bridge make it a dynamic and memorable experience for visitors and locals alike.

The Jacques Cartier bridge is the symbol of Montreal. This bridge allows people to cross the Saint Lawrence River from Montreal Island to the south shore. The bridge crosses Saint Helen's Island in the centre of the river, where off-ramps allow access to the amusement park La Ronde and the Parc Jean-Drapeau.

The fireworks from the bridge looked stunning. It’s a long walk on the bridge to get to the best view point but it’s worth the walk.

This bridge is extremely beautiful and I’m glad that it’s owned by Canada. Really nice bridge very high and just overall a beautiful bridge. Love that they have a bike path and that you can walk.

Beautiful bridge at night. Once it’s lit up it’s amazing for pictures taking. We went to the port and photographed it and it’s so amazing.

Views of the Jacques-Cartier Bridge are part of the iconic images of Montreal. The best ones are from the Old Port, St Helen's Island, Notre-Dame Street or Rene-Levesque Boulevard. If you are a hiker or a biker, take the walkway/bike path on the bridge to enjoy views of the city and the river.

Beautiful and impressive bridge with a great viewpoint nearby. From this you can see the Montreal skyline perfectly. 👍🏼

The Pont Jacques Cartier Bridge is a vital route for bicycles, but it can get quite hectic. During my ride, I encountered numerous construction workers, making it necessary to navigate around them. It's crucial for cyclists to exercise caution and patience when crossing, as the bridge's busyness can be a bit challenging to maneuver. Nonetheless, the bridge offers spectacular views of the city, making the journey worthwhile for those seeking picturesque scenery during their bike ride.

5 out of 5, excellent deck, it never collapsed while I was riding on it.

Definitely well lit up, easy and safe drive outside of rush hour and traffic (naturally). Lighting is most impressive during seasonal changes, brightens up the mood and Notre Dame area.

🇨🇦… Very nice Bridge over the St Laurence River … and a proudly Welcome from Montreal …🌇

I was there during the L'International des Feux Loto-quebec which is a competition between international pyrotechnicians. (Or simply just a really good fireworks show) which you can watch for free from Jacques Cartier Bridge if you don't want to pay and buy tickets at La Ronde. It is a 30 minute show that happens on 4-5 weekends from June to August. Make sure you reach there on time and grab good spots because it gets very very crowded!!

Too awesome to walk there and the view is breathtaking. Gorgeous.

The traffic can be bad during rush hour but it’s managed well with a flow changing middle lane. Nighttime light shows have only added to the historical iconic-ness of this bridge. The bridge is also shut down during the summer through the fireworks shows for amazing viewings.

Beautiful firework show and sick lights on the bridge.

I like to refer to this as "my bridge" (I pay taxes don't I? So some of it's mine;) Since they put the lights on this it is so beautiful I always enjoy driving across and love to watch the light shows. Been up there many times to watch fireworks from La Ronde as well. Good view.

The fireworks look amazing from here! They shut it down for people to watch it, and there is police officers everywhere, it’s every Thursday during summer don’t miss it:)

This is a fascinating bridge. An engineering marvel. I love this bridge a lot. First time a few decades ago, it was a toll bridge, so I had to throw a quarter into a basket every time I drove my car on the bridge. The toll is gone, thank God.

Breathtaking views of the city, and a great biking path for those enjoying the views. Walking might feel a bit cramped and has to be exercised with care given how narrow the path shared with bikers is.

Originally named the Montreal Harbour Bridge (Pont du Havre), it was renamed in 1934 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Jacques Cartier's first voyage up the St. Lawrence River.

Great attraction! The bridge is a heat spot to watch the International Fireworks festival which occurs every summer at La Ronde Amusement Park.

The bridge over St Lawrence River is lid at night and during summer there can be also fireworks shows. The bridge has a bike trail on one side and a pedestrian path on the other. Nice walk and view to St Helen's Island and the JD park.

Very nice bridge! It is well adapted to pedestrians and cyclists. Could be a bit more wide but other than that, great experience!

When people tell something about Montreal The Jacques Cartier Bridge comes to my mind. And this is true, that steel truss cantilever bridge crossing the Saint Lawrence River from Montreal Island to the south shore at Longueuil is the real symbol of the city. I can divide the bridge in two parts because it is not connecting the city and the South Shore directly. The bridge crosses Saint Helen's Island in the centre of the river, where off-ramps allow access to the Parc Jean-Drapeau and La Ronde amusement park. Originally named the Montreal Harbour Bridge (pont du Havre), it was renamed in 1934[3] to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Jacques Cartier's first voyage up the St. Lawrence River. The five-lane highway bridge is 3,425.6 m (11,239 ft) in length, including the approach viaducts. There are approximately 35.8 million vehicle crossings annually,[2] making it the third busiest bridge in Canada, the first being Samuel-de-Champlain Bridge, just a few kilometres (miles) upstream. The second busiest bridge in Canada overall is the Port Mann Bridge in Metro Vancouver (connecting Surrey to Coquitlam). Together with the Champlain Bridge, it is administered by the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI), a Canadian Crown Corporation which reports to Infrastructure Canada.

Beautiful view of the city

I loved passing on your beautiful bridge. I loved mostly this bridge because this structures has lots of colorful lights on that. Also I love this place because this bridge has lots of great views including the cities of Montreal and Longueuil, the La Ronde amusement park, the racing track and the famous casino. Also this bridge is well maintained.
