Also known originally as the Interprovincial Bridge, this is a cantilever bridge linking Hull (Quebec) with Ottawa (Ontario) across the Ottawa River.  The bridge took nearly a decade to complete after the groundbreaking in 1892, opening in February 1901.  The majority of construction occurred between 1898 and 1900.  At the time of completion the main cantilever span of 556 feet was the longest in Canada, and fourth longest in the world, according to the Transport Canada site.  Its total length is 1,848 feet, and its tower posts are 95 feet high.  It was designed to handle both rail and vehicular traffic, as well as pedestrians.  The images highlight in symmetry of this beautiful bridge.
