About
Since 1917, the Québec Bridge has connected Lévis and Québec City and has stood as a symbol of excellence in the region’s landscape. A feat of civil engineering, this iconic structure is the cantilever bridge with the longest clear span in the world. It continues to fascinate today, over 100 years after the end of its construction.
