The Concorde Bridge (French: Pont de la Concorde) carries Avenue Pierre-Dupuy across the St. Lawrence River between Cité du Havre, Montreal, and Parc Jean-Drapeau on Saint Helen's Island. Most of its traffic is from motorists driving to the Montreal Casino on Île Notre-Dame and continuing on Pierre Dupuy Avenue across Pont des Îles. The bridge was built for Expo 67 and was used by the Montreal Expo Express train.[1]
