Pont Couvert Levasseur

The Pont McVetty-McKenzie, located in Authier-Nord, Quebec, was constructed in 1893 and spans 206 feet over the rivière au Saumon. This historic covered bridge, influenced by American architecture, features hand-hewn granite abutments and a restored structure inaugurated in 2005 after significant repairs following deterioration, including damages from a storm in 1950 and further issues identified in more recent inspections.

The site of the bridge is designated as a historical monument and includes several amenities such as picnic tables, parking, and seasonal washrooms. Recently, a petition from local residents advocating for rapid reopening follows the decision to limit its capacity and restrict public access due to compliance issues with insurance requirements.
