Champlain every day: a new contest and six video capsules showing what goes on beneath the Champlain Bridge

LONGUEUIL, QC, April 17, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - As one of the biggest work seasons in the history of the Champlain Bridge gets underway, we've created six video capsules to help you better understand our operations.

Every Tuesday until May 13, 2014, a new capsule will be posted on www.champlainbridge.ca.

These capsules offer a unique perspective that will help explain the issues the bridge faces and the solutions our team apply on a daily basis.

View the first two capsules:

• Champlain Bridge Everyday - Part 1 - Its past and future
• Champlain Bridge Everyday - Part 2 - Engineering Safety

Contest: Discover the Champlain Bridge as you have never seen it before!

The launch of these capsules also coincides with a new contest for 2014: Visit the heart of the Champlain Bridge. Three lucky people will win a guided tour beneath the bridge by members of our team.

After allowing members of the public to visit on top of the bridge during a weekend BLITZ in 2013, we decided that 2014 would be a great occasion to offer a visit BELOW the bridge.

End of contest: May 20, 2014 (noon)
Draw : May 21, 2014
Visit : Week of June 3, 2014

It's an unprecedented and exclusive way to give people a better idea of the issues the bridge faces and the extent of the work that's being carried out on this massive structure, high above the St. Lawrence River, until a new bridge is built.
