Exclusive Leaked Images From Montreal Canada.steemCreated with Sketch.

These photos are being leaked from a major construction project in Montreal on the new Champlain Bridge. Construction for the original Champlain Bridge began in 1957 and opened to the public on June 28th in 1962. The cost for the Bridge built in the 1950's was 52 million dollars Canadian (including approaches) Demolition for the same Bridge is going to run Canadian taxpayers about 400 million dollars. The old Champlain Bridge can be seen below with usual daytime traffic looking down from the top of the new bridge.

The new Champlain Bridge is scheduled to be completed December 1st 2018. The new bridge is expected to stand 125 years and is going to be built using 45000 tons of steel says Marc Dutil, president of CANAM who are among one of the many groups working on the project. At 20 stories high with an elevator to get to the 12th floor at that height it is a 5 story stair climb upwards after a windy elevator ride and then a 4 story hustle up ladders to the view shown in these images. Only the brave should apply to work on this site!

With a whopping price tag of 4.2 billion dollars the cost of the new Champlain Bridge is supposed to be a bargain as the feds are putting it, considering the new bridge is running about 80 million dollars cheaper than originally planned.

The project will create an estimated 29000 to 35000 jobs including maintenance workers who will take care of the new bridge long after the job is done.

I have to say these images are not only outstanding these photos are also a reminder of the length some city workers will go to to maintain and develop City infrastructure to better help grow communities around the world.

Personally I'm a lot more happy looking at these photographs then I would be climbing up to these heights as a job for a living in my opinion would be nerve racking to say the least, not to mention I like crypto too much ;p

Massive respect to the photographer who captured these fantastic images and all the construction and maintenance workers around the world everywhere who put their lives on the line to build and maintain amazing structures everyday.

Exclusive access shown in these photos is only available for unionized steelworkers in Quebec, Montreal brave enough to climb and tether to a bridge with nothing more than a safety belt and a whole lot of guts, any STEEM raised in this article is going to go directly to my friend who is the photographer of these pictures, shown in this article.

Cheers, I appreciate your taking a second to check out this post and leave a comment below, especially if you've ever visited Montreal and remember crossing this bridge to get into the city on the way up from the United States.

wow 35,000 jobs, now this is a great idea if a country has high employment, just build a few bridges.

Fantastic pictures showing great engineering.

Very good point, have a great week!

It looks beautiful there, I would love to visit.... finally thanks govt case lot of employer work this project... w8 for your reply.

Montreal is a fantastic city to see, let me know if you ever pop out!

The pictures are very good butI don't see why these image shouldn't be public domain so title being mainly about the fact that they are "leaked" it doesn't seems very relevant to the main idea and is kinda clickbaity.

I know what you mean, Montreal should have a program for showing people what is going on over there at the bridge site.

they are beautiful
