About

The Jordi-Bonet Bridge (pont Jordi-Bonet) is a road bridge linking Beloeil and Mont-Saint-Hilaire and spanning the Richelieu River, in La Vallée-du-Richelieu Regional County Municipality, in Montérégie, Québec, Canada. This bridge mainly serves residents of the Beloeil-Mont-Saint-Hilaire region, as well as traffic connecting Saint-Bruno to Saint-Hyacinthe, along Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard. The bridge serves as a crossing for Quebec Route 116 and 229. It has four traffic lanes, two in each direction, which are separated by a double central line. A bicycle path and sidewalk are also provided on the north side of the bridge. In addition to the river, the bridge spans Route 223 (rue Richelieu) on the left bank and Route 133 (chemin des Patriotes) on the right bank of the Richelieu River. Access roads connect these two roads to the bridge. Daily traffic on this bridge is estimated at 44,000 vehicles, for an annual average of 16 million vehicles.
