The Pie IX Bridge is a Quebec bridge, spanning the Rivière des Prairies. It connects the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul area of Laval, on Île Jésus, and the borough of Montreal North in Montreal, on the Island of Montreal. The bridge is part of Autoroute 25 until the construction of a new toll bridge which would connect the two branches of A-25 instead of being part of a multiplex with Autoroute 40 until Pie IX Boulevard.
It was named after Pope Pius IX since Pie is the French name for Pius.
It is also called (apparently the official name) Le Caron Bridge. [1]
