I was just over the new bridge last week, I remember crossing that old Champlain Bridge many times in the past. I will miss it, even though it was old, it had character. The new one just looks like any other major cities "art work", if you get what I am trying to say. I guess the Jacques Cartier may be eventually on the list for a new one in the future as well.
Thanks for sharing the video. The river looks completely frozen solid, as you can see the snow blowing over the ice, looks like open water, but a closer look sees the snow wind sweeping across the ice.
