Montréal: Pont Victoria - a photo on Flickriver

            The Pont Victoria (Victoria Bridge), officially known as the Victoria Jubilee Bridge, carries rail and road traffic over the fleuve Saint-Laurent (St. Lawrence River), connecting Montréal and the south shore city of Saint-Lambert.  Opened in 1859 and officially inaugurated on August 25, 1860, it was the first bridge to span the St. Lawrence River.  At bridge is approximately 3 km long, with 24 ice-breaking piers, it was the longest bridge in the world at its completion.

Designed by chief engineer James Hodges, the original deck was a long tubular bridge made of prefabricated sections designed by Robert Stephenson and Alexander McKenzie Ross.  In 1897-1890, the metal tube was replaced by metal trusses.  The original stone piers from 1860, slightly altered in 1897, are still in place.
