List of bridges in Canada

This is a list of bridges and viaducts in Canada, including those for pedestrians and vehicular traffic.

Historical and architectural interest bridges
There are only a few covered bridges left in Canada compared to all those that were built in the past. In the Quebec province, if we already counted 1200 in the last century, today there are only 88 remaining. In New Brunswick, 58 covered bridges have been identified.

Major road and railway bridges
Canada's longest bridge is the Confederation Bridge in the Gulf of St. Lawrence with a total of 12910 m between abutments, it's also the world's longest bridge over ice-covered water. More than 5,000 local workers helped with the project, which cost about $1 billion.

The Quebec Bridge has been the longest cantilever bridge span in the world since 1917, measuring 549 m between its two piles. It helds the record of all-categories longest span in the world until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge, it's the last bridge that broke such a record before suspension bridges hold the award by far. It was designated a National Historic Sites of Canada in 1995.

In 1929, the Ambassador Bridge between Canada and United States surpassed the Quebec Bridge with a 564 m main span and became the largest crossing in the world until the inauguration of the George Washington Bridge in 1931 in New York City which almost doubled the range hitherto achieved.

Studies have been carried out for crossing the Saguenay River near Tadoussac just before the confluence with the St. Lawrence River, the latest project presented by the COWI A/S company includes the construction of a 1145 m span suspension bridge with a 70 m clearance above the river.

This table presents the structures with spans greater than 100 meters (non-exhaustive list).

The old bridges over the Niagara
This part lists all the former bridges which succeeded one another on the Niagara River between the towns of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Queenston in Canada and Niagara Falls, New York and Lewiston in United States. The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge (1897), the Rainbow Bridge (1941) and the Lewiston–Queenston Bridge (1962), still in service are listed in the Major road and railway bridges part above.
