List of bridges and tunnels to the Île de Montréal

The Île de Montréal, on which the city of Montreal is located, is the largest island in the Hochelaga archipelago.

The Canadian metropolis of Montreal is located on the Île de Montréal , the largest island in the Hochelaga archipelago . This is surrounded by the St. Lawrence River , the Rivière des Prairies , the Lac des Deux Montagnes , the Lac Saint-Louis and the Ottawa River . Although the city was founded in 1642, the first permanent connection only existed from 1847 when a wooden bridge was built over the Rivière des Prairies to the neighboring island of Île Jésus . The first connection to the mainland followed in 1854 with a railway bridge at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue over the Ottawa River. From 1860, the Pont Victoria was the first connection to the south bank of the St. Lawrence River.

This list of bridges and other crossings to the Île de Montréal is ordered counter-clockwise. It begins at Lac Saint-Louis, follows the Saint Lawrence River downstream, then the Rivière des Prairies upstream to Lac des Deux Montagnes and back over the Ottawa River to Lac Saint-Louis. The years of construction of existing buildings are displayed, as well as the years of construction of the original structures, if the existing structure replaced an older one.
