Took me 3 hr 15 minutes for this bike ride. From Lionel-Groulx metro to Pont Champlain and then from Brossard to Longueuil and then on Jacques-Cartier Bridge back to Montreal and up to Petite-Italie Mozart and Boul Laurent street corner.
Mileage unclear. Maps route below says 27 km but actual ride Maps Timeline said 38 km. The latter does include around 30 minutes of wrong turns to finally get from Atwater St to the start of Pont Champlain, around 1-2 km of extra distance.
Montreal Photo Album – 2025 May includes the bike path pictures.
- There are no good directions on the bike paths showing how to get to start of the bridges. Google maps does a decent job but following it can be difficult since it is not always clear and requires extra biking around some turns. It is most complicated getting on to Pont Champlain from Montreal.
- Pont Champlain bike path has easy gradual slope. There are a handful of great lookout points.
- Jacques-Cartier has a bit more steeper paths. There are two bridges here, two sections. There is only one lookout point and it is at the intersection of the road going to the St Helen’s Island.
