Buffalo Bridge - the Montreal span that's now completely forgotten

Buffalo Bridge sat at the east end of Verdun

   Nobody remembers the Buffalo Bridge which spanned the little St. Peter's River between 1876-1934.
   The structure crossed the river which ran sorta along LaSalle Blvd. at the eastern end of Verdun Ave.
   The river was placed in a huge concrete tube underwater so there was no more need for the bridge, which had been shipped in from the states.
   The company that made the steel had emblazoned the image of a buffalo on it, hence the name.
   When it came time to demolish it in 1934 the city was unable to compensate the owners because nobody knew who it was and nobody came forward.
