Darwin Bridges
Project Complete
Located on Nuns' Island, the Darwin Bridges combine innovation and sustainability with concrete that incorporates recycled glass powder. Replacing aging structures, they provide a safe crossing for pedestrians and cyclists while supporting Montreal's ecological transition towards sustainable mobility.
The Darwin Bridges, the first in the world made of concrete incorporating recycled glass powder, embody sustainable innovation. They provide a safe crossing for pedestrians and cyclists over Boulevard de L'Île-des-Sœurs, seamlessly connecting the city to West Vancouver Park. Their curved design perfectly blends with the iconic landscape near the Saint Lawrence River and the Corot building, while supporting Montreal's ecological transition.
