Among the last in Quebec, 34 covered bridges were constructed in Abitibi, and are associated with the colonisation of the region in the early 1900s.[2] Today fewer than half of them are extant.
The single-lane bridge is of Lattice truss bridge design.[3] This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec.[4] Unlike most bridges of the design, the pont du Petit-Quatre has higher windows and 3 inch trusses rather than the usual 2in.[3]
Built in 1946 to replace an earlier 1934 bridge which had burnt down. It was renovated in 1964 and again in 2010.[3]
It is listed in the répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec.[5]
