The pont Landry is a covered bridge in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada.[1]
Among the last in Quebec, 34 covered bridges were constructed in Abitibi, and are associated with the colonisation of the region in the early 1900s.[2] Today fewer than half of them are extant.
The single-lane bridge is of Lattice truss bridge design.[3] This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec.[4]
It was repaired in 1991 and repainted in 2010.[3]
In 2007 it was declared an historic monument by the local municipality, and it is listed in the répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec.[5]
