Pont Jacques-Cartier
This is structure and light in one object. The 1930 steel cantilever is a genuine engineering landmark, and since the city's 375th anniversary it carries 'Connexions vivantes,' an interactive lighting system that shifts with the seasons and the city's data. Watch it from the waterfront after dark — the steel becomes a canvas.
The 1930 steel cantilever bridge over the St. Lawrence — a feat of engineering now wrapped in a responsive, ever-changing light installation.
