The Chaudière Bridge looking toward Hull. This was the bridge that Alfred Bonenfant crossed on his way to Hull and on which Henri Fern captured Bonenfant's runaway horse. The steel truss section, built in 1889, replaced an earlier suspension bridge. The bridge's official name was the Union Bridge but it also continued to be known as the "suspension bridge" long after 1889.
