The pont Levasseur is a covered bridge in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada.[1]
Among the last in North America, 34 covered bridges were constructed in Abitibi, and are associated with the colonisation of the region in the early 1900s.[2] Today fewer than half of them are extant.
The single-lane bridge is of Lattice truss bridge design. This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec.[3]
The central pillar was added in 1946. In 1962 it was raised 60cm. In 1985 it was renovated. Following renovations in 2015, the load capacity was reduced to 8 tonnes from 12. It was repainted in 2016.[4]
It is listed in the répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec.[5]
