Location DB > Canada > Quebec > Montreal > Parc Jean-Drapeau > Terre des Hommes 1968-1976 > 1968 - Place des Nations

7 / 38   1968 - Place des Nations

Description
Bien que la Place des nations est toujours là aujourd'hui, le pont a perdu ses câbles et les vitres sont barricadées et la Ville de Montréal utilise l'intérieur de cette estrade pour entreposer des câbles électriques pêle-même, même si le toit coule et que le plafond ait tombé. La section de la passerelle piétonnière qu'on voit de gauche à droite est toujours accessible.

  they used to say it was 25,000 for a full house concert there. I always used to wonder how they fit them all in cause when you were there it didn't seem as big as the forum which did about 18,500 for concerts. Saw Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Humble Pie, and Frank Marino there, all packed.

  Probably as they did during Expo, with people standing in on the Concorde Bridge?

  Are you talking about the train station on the bridge? It was covered over.

  The bridge you see here almost collapsed in the late 90's, early 2000's and was pretty much completely redone. The cables weren't necessary anymore so they were just removed, leaving a now very ugly, design-less bridge...

  Oh and the seating section in the middle of the pic is now unaccessible, pedestrian walkway on the left has been closed for over a year, it partly collapsed last Spring and the pedestrian walkay to the right has been closed since Spring (when the other one started to collapse) and there is a awkward angle to the wooden floor of it (about a good 5 inches of denivelation from one side of the floor to the other), it will also eventually colapse I guess. Maybe this winter if we have a lot of snow. I stepped on it this summer and at a specific point, I could feel the wood under my feet almost collapsing. Not good. Plus if you move a bit on the plateform, you can feel the whole structure shaking... Sad, sad, sad, sad.
