Between 1900 and 1917, opened in the region of Quebec one of the greatest construction site of all North America: the construction of the biggest iron bridge in the world.
This construction, at the cutting edge of technology at the time, thanks to the principle of the cantilever, or overhang, was an extraordinary adventure, but sometimes tragic, since the bridge under construction collapsed twice, causing many deaths and missing workers.
Enhanced with new information and new images in a 'Learn More' section, this new edition is sure to satisfy young and adult readers alike, teachers, and even tourists, many of whom visit Québec!
