About Longue Pointe Traverse Upstream Range Front Lighthouse
This cylindrical steel tower stands 9 meters tall and is painted white with an orange daymark featuring a black vertical stripe. It is situated on the riverbank in Longueuil, Quebec, within Parc de la Pointe du Marigot. The light emits an isophase green flash every 2 seconds from a focal height of 14 meters, with a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. The structure was established as part of new upstream range lights between 1977 and 1994, replacing earlier lights that guided downstream traffic. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This range front light guides vessels upstream through the Longue Pointe Traverse, contributing to safe passage on the St. Lawrence River.
