The pont de la Calamité was a covered bridge in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Canada. 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. Today fewer than half of them are extant. The single-lane bridge was of Lattice truss bridge design. This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec. The bridge did not benefit from any provincial or municipal protection. It was completely destroyed by fire on may 31, 2021.

Ce pont en bois à une voie était de type ferme Town élaboré (ou québécois) : modèle modifié par le ministère de la Colonisation du Québec pour le rendre encore plus économique. Il a été employé pour construire plus de 500 ponts couverts au Québec. Il a été détruit par les flammes le 31 mai 2021. (fr)

Il a été employé pour construire plus de 500 ponts couverts au Québec. Construit en 1927, il a été rénové en 1945 et sa capacité portante est dorénavant de 12 tonnes. Repeint en rouge in 1984, ayant été longtemps gris. Son nom est lié au fait que la Rivière des Méloizes était jadis appelée Calamity River. Il a été détruit par les flammes le 31 mai 2021. (fr)
- The pont de la Calamité was a covered bridge in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Canada. 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. Today fewer than half of them are extant. The single-lane bridge was of Lattice truss bridge design. This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec. Built in 1927, it was renovated in 1945 to increase the capacity of 12 tonnes. In 1984 it was painted red, having been grey for many years. Its name relates to the fact that the river it crosses, Rivière des Méloizes, was once sometimes known as Calamity River. The bridge did not benefit from any provincial or municipal protection. It was completely destroyed by fire on may 31, 2021. (en)
