Repentigny station

Le Gardeur was a former town in southwestern Quebec, Canada that is now a district of the city of Repentigny. It was merged with Repentigny as part of the 2002 municipal reorganization in Quebec.It is on the L'Assomption River in the Regional County Municipality of L'Assomption and is connected to Montreal by Route 138, Autoroute 40, and Via Rail on the Canadian National rail line. The rural parish of Saint-Paul-l'Ermite was established in 1856. The municipality of the same name was created in 1973 over part of the original territory. It changed its name to Le Gardeur five years later. (Pierre Le Gardeur, Sieur de Repentigny, was the region's first feudal lord, under letters-patent granted in 1647 to the Compagnie des cent associés.) The parish and its church are still active. Le Gardeur's main population is concentrated near the L'Assomption River in the southernmost part of the city, bordering the rest of Repentigny, and the Saint Lawrence River. The northern part is mostly farmland, and is being developed as a suburban area. This is where the March 2006 announced AMT Repentigny-Mascouche Line commuter train that began service in December 2014 turned off the existing Canadian National line onto its own right of way heading towards Terrebonne.

Charlemagne (pronounced [ʃaʁləmaɲ]) is a city in the Province of Québec, Canada, on the north shore of the Rivière des Prairies, 24 kilometres (15 mi) northeast of the city of Montréal’s downtown core. As of 2021, the population was 6,302. Charlemagne is, famously, the birthplace and childhood hometown of world-famous singer Céline Dion; the town council named one of its main streets after her without the recognition of a Québec commission. Additionally, the town erected a sculpture on Dion's behalf. Charlemagne is also the birthplace of politician Camille Laurin.

Repentigny (French pronunciation: [ʁəpɑ̃tiɲi] ) is an off-island suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located north of the city on the lower end of the L'Assomption River, and on the Saint Lawrence River. Repentigny and Charlemagne were the first towns off the eastern tip of the Island of Montreal. Repentigny is part of the Lanaudière region.

Le Gardeur station was on Saint-Paul Street in the Le Gardeur district of Repentigny, Quebec, Canada. The station was marked only by a signpost and was a request stop for two Via Rail routes from Montreal, Quebec. Via Rail announced that as of August 7, 2015, and "for safety reasons related to the railway crossing", all trains serving the two routes would no longer stop there, effectively shutting down the station. Passengers were directed to use L'Assomption railway station.

Église Notre-Dame-des-Champs de Repentigny is a church located in Repentigny, a suburb of Montreal, Quebec. It was completed in 1963. The building was the work of architect Roger D'Astous (a student of Frank Lloyd Wright) and is located close to the previous church of the same name which was built in 1725.The building has a statue of Christ on the cross which was sculpted by Médard Bourgault as well as a sculpture donated to the church by Rose-Anne Monna.The church is nicknamed “The Bag” after its unusual shape, which is said to be fashioned after King David's lyre or praying hands.

The Assomption River (in French Rivière l'Assomption, named after the Assumption of Mary) is the most important waterway in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada. It is over 200 kilometres (120 mi) long, and has a drainage basin (watershed) of 4,220 square kilometres (1,630 sq mi). Its source is the Mont Tremblant massif. Seven significant rivers flow into the Assomption (de la Boule, Versailles, Noire, la Chaloupe, Ouareau, Saint-Esprit, and Achigan) before it flows into the Rivière des Prairies at Repentigny, Quebec. About 150,000 people live in the drainage area of this river.

The Le Gardeur Bridge is a beam bridge that connects the east end of the island of Montreal, in Pointe-aux-Trembles, to Repentigny. The bridge has two sections across the Rivière des Prairies, which are separated by Île Bourdon. The length of the structures is 297 metres (974 ft) (west) and 565 metres (1,854 ft) (east).Built in 1939, the bridge underwent a major reconstruction in 2001 as well as the addition of a reserved lane for the Metrobus on the eastern structure. The work included the demolition, reconstruction and widening of the bridge deck, which included the new transit lane, and its approaches as well as the rehabilitation of the 24 pillars. The Ministry of Transport also made emergency repairs in 1999 to solidify the structure, and frequent inspections were made between 1999 and the reconstruction of the bridge, which was estimated at over $26 million.The bridge is part of Quebec Route 138, which runs from the Canada–United States border southwest of Huntingdon to the Côte-Nord region via Trois-Rivières and Quebec City. It is one of only two river crossings at the eastern tip of Montreal to the Lanaudière region (Repentigny, Charlemagne and Lavaltrie areas), the other being the Charles de Gaulle Bridge on Quebec Autoroute 40. This section of Route 138 is named Notre-Dame Street, and the eastern end of the bridge also marks the start of the Chemin du Roy, a portion of Route 138 that follows the historic road to Quebec City. Each day, approximatively 20,000 vehicles use the bridge, which is an alternative route to the more congested Charles de Gaulle Bridge during rush hours. The road has two lanes of traffic in each direction, together with sidewalks and a bicycle lane/path. On both sides of the bridge, it is known as Rue Notre-Dame but immediately after crossing the bridge, westbound Route 138 turns into Sherbrooke Street via a new roundabout through most of the eastern half of the island, including Downtown Montreal. A railway bridge used for Via Rail train service is just west of Pierre Le Gardeur Bridge. The bridge is named after Pierre Legardeur (1600–1648), a New France general and the first lord of Repentigny.

The Laurier Railway Bridge (often referred to as Pierre Le Gardeur railway bridge, after the road bridge next to it) carries the Canadian National Railway from Montreal (Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles) to Charlemagne (North Shore) via Île Bourdon.

Terminus Repentigny is a bus terminus served by Réseau de transport métropolitain (RTM).

Terrebonne station is a commuter rail station operated by Exo in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada. It is served by the Mascouche line.Despite its name, it is located some 9 km from the town centre of Terrebonne, instead serving the district of Lachenaie, a former municipality that was merged with Terrebonne in 2001. The station is located on the median of Quebec Autoroute 640. It possesses a single track and a single side platform. The platform is a high-level platform, a feature shared only with Gare Centrale, Repentigny, and Mascouche stations on the commuter train network. The station has a single exit, reached via an enclosed overhead bridge passing over the eastbound autoroute lane to reach the main parking lot, with stair and elevator access. As a result, the station is wheelchair-accessible. The parking lot and adjacent bus loop are reached from Boulevard Marcel-Therrien. An artwork by Patrick Coutu, an aluminum and stainless steel sculpture entitled Myriade, stands in the parking lot near the station entrance.

Lachenaie was an off-island suburb of Montreal, in southwestern Quebec, Canada on the Rivière des Mille-Îles. It is now part of the city of Terrebonne, and is in the Regional County Municipality of Les Moulins. In 2001, the population was 21,709.

The Charles de Gaulle Bridge is a bridge that links the eastern tip of the island of Montreal, Quebec over the Rivière des Prairies to the Lanaudière region near the city of Charlemagne. The bridge is named after French President Charles de Gaulle, who inspired the Quebec sovereignty movement in the 1960s with his Vive le Québec libre speech in Montreal in 1967, the same year the bridge was built. The bridge is part of Quebec Autoroute 40 and is only one of two bridge crossings from Montreal to the Repentigny-Charlemagne region, the other being Pierre Le Gardeur Bridge, on Notre-Dame Street. As being by far the fastest link to Downtown Montreal, the road is often very congested during rush hours, with traffic backing up as far as Repentigny in the morning with heavy congestion eastbound during the afternoon. The bridge is also part of the fastest travel link between Montreal and the cities of Trois-Rivières and Quebec City, both on the northern shores of the Saint Lawrence River. The bridge has three lanes of traffic in each direction. The six-lane segment on A-40 eastbound continues until after the Quebec Autoroute 640 junction.
