Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: In 1906 two concrete piers (792ft apart) were constructed to support the two range lights. The piers are 12.8 meters (42ft) at the base and 7.6 meters (25ft) at the top, 8.5 meters (28ft) high.
The rear light was no longer needed and replaced by a skeletal tower erected at Île a la Bague. In the background is the Laviolette Bridge is an arch bridge connecting the city of Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Canada to Bécancour on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River. Total length: 2,707 meters (8,881 ft) Laviolette Bridge is the only bridge that spans the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, providing an important connection between the North and South shores of the river. The construction of Laviolette Bridge started 1964. On September 7, 1965, during construction, a caisson failed due to water pressure, killing 12 workers. The bridge was inaugurated on December 20, 1967. In 2005, a three-year major renovation project was started and completed in2007. |
