This book tells the story of efforts in Quebec City during the mid-19th century to build an ice bridge across the Saint Lawrence River, connecting it to Point Levi, to enhance winter commerce and improve transportation between the north and south shores. The book delves into the complex challenges of constructing a bridge that could withstand the harsh winter conditions and the powerful currents of the river, examining the various proposals and engineering ideas put forward by scientists, engineers, and local residents.
