- The longest bridge in the world upon completion in 1859 and widely hailed as an engineering marvel for the time, Victoria Bridge was Montreal's first bridge and remains in use to this day, carrying both rail and road traffic. Its construction allowed Montreal to become a hub in the North American rail system and greatly impacted the city's economic development.

That was cool, best channel about Montreal for sure.
Nice video! I was aware of most of this but it's nice to see all these images!
Until the Victoria bridge was built Quebec City surpassed Montreal in terms of population. But after it's completion in 1859 trains no longer had to go through Quebec City and Montreal underwent a major industrial boom afterwards which had already started with the widening of the Lachine Canal in 1848.
Yes! Although Montreal surpassed Quebec City in the 1810s actually. Once the Lachine Canal opened in 1825 and later Victoria in 1859, the gap widened.

You are right Chris, the population of Montreal had indeed become larger almost 50 years before the opening of the Victoria bridge. As an indication in 1851 the population of Montreal was 57 715 while Quebec City was 42 052. And the year the bridge was inaugurated (1860) the population of Montreal had already passed the 100 000 mark. It had almost doubled in less than 10 years.
Merci! Ç'est très bien.
Scariest bridge in Montreal
If you think it’s scary now, there used to be only one span for cars and traffic was two-way!
Are there any cities in North America, other than maybe New York, that can have endless amazing videos made about it like Montreal?
Not to say anything bad about Montreal but yes! Boston, San Francisco, Baton Rouge to name just a few.
I have always thought that this bridge was a bit more scary to cross then the others... They should replace it with a new one, like they did with the Champlain bridge!
I hate that bridge
