One of the most notoriously popular projects planned for Montreal's 375th has got to be the illumination of the Jacques Cartier bridge. Some people are very excited at the thought of having a massive illuminated landmark like the (but not quite as cool as) the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

But perhaps now that most the work is done, the haters can at leat admit it looks really good. Last night the bridge was illuminated for the first time and the photos and videos are absolutely stunning. Damn Montreal, you look good.
