# Olivier-Charbonneau Bridge – Montréal, Québec, Canada

![Olivier-Charbonneau Bridge – Montréal, Québec, Canada](https://www.systra.com/ibt/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2010/01/dji_0065-v1-scaled.jpg)

## DESIGN-BUILD

**Main Span: **1.2 km (.75 mi)

**Bridge Length: **280 m (918 ft)

**Width: **36 m (118 ft)

**This is a signature structure on the long-awaited roadway between Montreal and Laval in Quebec, Canada. The Oliver-Charbonneau Bridge is a 7.2 km (4.5 mi)-long toll road between Boulevard Henri Bourassa in Montréal and Highway 440 in Laval.**

The 1.2 km (0.75 mi) main bridge consists of a plate girder approach with
continuous spans up to 96 m (315 ft) and a 512 m (1680 ft) long cable stayed
structure with a 280 m (918 ft) long main span. The 36 m (118 ft) wide bridge
superstructure consists of a steel-concrete composite deck supported by two
planes of stay cables in a fan arrangement along the edges. The stay-cables are
anchored in vertical concrete pylons supported on drilled shaft foundations with
pile caps at water level. Rocker links are used at each end of the cable-stayed
spans to anchor the superstructure and allow for longitudinal deck movement.
