Pont couvert Macaza

Pont couvert Macaza

Built in 1904, the Macaza covered bridge is the only remaining covered bridge in the Rouge Valley. Considering most bridges of this period were built in wood, the reason they were covered was in order to delay deterioration and prevent rotting. Also, the portal of these bridges resembled that of a barn, which helped reassure horses as they crossed since they could not see the water. The protective cross and the railway bridge (iron bridge) can be seen nearby.

But be careful, because due to the height and weight limits of the bridge, certain vehicles should not be attempting to cross. 

The Municipality of La Macaza is part of the Route du Lièvre Rouge, a tourist circuit developed by the Société d'Histoire et de Généalogie des Hautes-Laurentides.
