Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge

Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge (commonly known as just Marchand Bridge or simply the Red Bridge) is a covered bridge in the Township of Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Quebec, Canada, that crosses the Coulonge River near Fort-Coulonge.

Constructed in 1898, this 148.66 metres (487.7 ft) long bridge is the longest covered bridge in Quebec.[1][2] This bridge is unique in Quebec because of its combination of Town and Queenpost trusses.
