Merveille d'ingénierie, le fameux pont d'aluminium d'Arvida reste encore aujourd'hui unique au monde. Inauguré en grande pompe en juillet 1950 par le premier ministre du Québec, Maurice Duplessis, cette audacieuse structure, dont la travée principale mesure près de 153 mètres, prend sa source dans la volonté de la municipalité d'Arvida de relier les deux rives du Saguenay. On demande alors aux ingénieurs d'Alcan de se pencher sur la possibilité de construire un pont en aluminium qui deviendra littéralement un symbole, une icône pour la ville et la compagnie Alcan. Avec l'aide de la Dominion Bridge, les scientifiques conçoivent une structure dont on débute le montage en août 1947. Elle ne pèse que 163 tonnes, soit la moitié moins qu'un pont en acier. Encore aujourd'hui, cet ouvrage unique est considéré comme l'un des plus remarquables de l'histoire du génie civil canadien. Il a d'ailleurs été nommé immeuble patrimonial par le gouvernement québécois. C'est sur ce pont que transitèrent les maisons miraculeusement sauvées après le fameux glissement de terrain du village de Saint-Jean-Vianney, en 1971.
