Pie-IX Bridge (French: Pont Pie-IX) is a bridge in Quebec, spanning the Rivière des Prairies. It connects the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul area of Laval, on Île Jésus, and the borough of Montréal-Nord in Montreal, on the Island of Montreal. The bridge was part of Autoroute 25 until the construction of the new toll bridge for Autoroute 25. It is now part of Quebec Route 125.

Pie-IX Bridge in 1948.

While it was originally called Le Caron Bridge, after Joseph Le Caron, an early missionary to the Hurons,[2] the bridge has since been renamed Pie-IX Bridge,[3] after Pie-IX Boulevard.[citation needed] The Boulevard itself was named after Pope Pius IX (Pie is the French name for Pius).
