The Bordeaux Railway Bridge[1] is a railway bridge on the Canadian Pacific Railway line across the Rivière des Prairies between Ahuntsic-Cartierville, on Montreal Island, and Laval-des-Rapides, Laval, Quebec, Canada. This bridge is used by freight trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), the Chemins de Fer Québec-Gatineau (CFQG) and by passenger suburban trains of Exo's Saint-Jerome line.

A four-rail gauntlet track is still in use on this bridge because the horizontal structure gauge is not sufficiently wide for a regular double track.

A recently renovated/rebuilt bicycle/pedestrian bridge is cantilevered on the upstream side of this bridge.[2][3] https://www.velo.qc.ca/
