Talk:Champlain Bridge (Montreal, 1962–2019)

Tolls
There is now a toll on the new A25 bridge and no toll booth. The province is using a more modern system of cameras which capture the liscence plate of cars passing by. I highly doupt any toll booth would be used if a toll was again imposed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enalung (talk • contribs) 20:33, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Ottawa River
About 200 km West of the Montreal-South shore Champlain bridge described in this article there is another Champlain bridge crossing the Outaouais river, between Gatineau and Ottawa. Does this mean that this article should be renamed "Champlain bridge (Montreal)"? AlainV 19:48, 2004 Mar 13 (UTC)

STARS
can someone link to [STARS(band)]; since they reference Pont Champlain? Dvigour 20:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Replacement bridge
I put the "citation needed" template in my own contribution about the eventuality of a replacement structure for Champlain. The problem is that my sources are in French only. Blanchardb 19:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I find that it may be essential to cite the source due to the nature of your contribution, even though it may be from a French-language article. Can you add a reference and reference section and be sure to use the French language template  at the end of the reference to indicate that it is from a foreign language?

New pictures
After the original picture in this article was deleted due to improper copyright, I waited for the right moment (weather, etc.) to make a new free one, where the bridge is seen from the ice barrier. I took two more pictures: one of the ice barrier, and one of the section of the bridge over the St.Lawrence properly speaking (the superstructure spans the Seaway, not the river). Would it be appropriate to add both pictures, given that the article is still quite short? --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 00:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

bridge to the west
Isn't the bridge to the west the Ice Control Bridge ? 70.51.10.188 (talk) 10:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC) (you can see it from the Champlain Bridge or Nun's Island) 70.51.10.188 (talk) 10:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

New Champlain Bridge
The new Champlain Bridge in Montreal is opening on June 24, 2019. As this is a completely separate bridge from the existing one destined to be destroyed in four years, should we have an all new page for the new bridge which will be known by the full name Samuel de Champlain Bridge werldwayd (talk) 00:53, 20 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I can only see two possibilities:


 * Creating two seperate articles
 * Splitting this article into two sections, complete with two infoboxes

I'd settle with the former (two seperate articles) because of the significance of both bridges; unlike the Quebec Bridge that collapsed twice during construction, the old Champlain bridge has stood for 40+ years and deserves its own page.

Ice control structure photo
The article includes this image with the description "The upstream ice control structure". However, comparing to other images, and the title/caption on that image itself, that doesn't seem correct - the image shows a bridge with a multi-lane highway (quite possibly the old bridge itself, though I'm not familiar enough with Montreal to say for sure!), while the ice control structure is (was?) smaller, with only a two-lane access road.

Does a photo of the ice control structure itself exist to replace that?
