No problem! There's an existing cable-stayed bridge between Montréal & Laval: Papineau-Leblanc Bridge
Here's what it looks like in Street View, with Mount Royal and downtown in the background... http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=fr&cli...145.03,,1,0.03

I did go east yesterday evening (December 16, 2009)

here are the south towers of the cable-stayed part (the rest of the bridge has several little spans, to the right); seen from Laval with Montreal in the background


north towers of the cable-stayed part (right), with the south towers visible (left)
