Comments:
The bridge was closed to traffic in 2001. In 2002, the bridge was repaired with almost all of the paneling being replaced, and it was opened to traffic. It was restored again in 2009 and 2010. After an inspection by the MTQ, the bridge was closed to traffic on October 6, 2017. The inspection report noted that "the bridge has a very significant structural degradation.” The structure is named for the Bordeleau family who lived in the area during construction.
