Joseph-Samson Bridge–Tunnel


The Joseph Samson Bridge–Tunnel is a vehicular bridge–tunnel in the Quebec City borough of La Cité-Limoilou..
It connects Capucin Boulevard in Old Limoilou with the old Port of Quebec.
The bridge-tunnel first crosses over the Saint-Charles River at the north and then runs southeast, passing under the Gare du Palais train station and SAAQ headquarters. The bridge carries six lanes of traffic, a bike lane on the west side, and sidewalks on both sides, while the tunnel is limited to three lanes of vehicular traffic.
The tunnel was constructed in the 1980s by Ministry of Transportation of Quebec and named after former Quebec City mayor Joseph-Octave Samson
