(Premier Maire De La Conception)
Inaugured the 22 December, 1968.
The Godin Bridge in La Conception was named in honour of Zephirin Godin, the municipality's first mayor. The old covered wooden bridge was dismantled in 1968 and replaced with a concrete structure.
In 1958, the wooden bridge had to be closed to vehicular traffic because the crossing was too worn to withstand vehicles. However, pedestrians and cyclists would still enjoy this privilege for the next ten years.Then came the fateful moment in 1968: its dismantling and replacement with a concrete bridge. It was named "Godin Bridge" in honour of the first mayor of La Conception, Zephirin Godin.
In 2003, it was commissioned to construct the charming reception hall on the Godin Bridge. The chosen architecture is reminiscent of the covered bridge that once spanned the Rouge River. This location has become so iconic that it now serves as a symbol for the village of La Conception.
