This bridge mainly serves residents of the Beloeil-Mont-Saint-Hilaire region, as well as traffic connecting Saint-Bruno to Saint-Hyacinthe, along Sir-Wilfrid-Laurier Boulevard.

The bridge is named in honor of Jordi Bonet (Barcelone, Espagne, 1932-Mont-Saint-Hilaire, 1979), a Quebec painter, ceramist, muralist and sculptor of Catalan Spanish origin who lived in Mont-Saint-Hilaire for the last ten years of his life.

In 1969, Jordi Bonet produced a superb mural of more than 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft), in concrete, in the triptych of the Grand Théâtre de Québec; this work is one of his great achievements in North America.

[2] Bonet settled in 1960 at the Rouville-Campbell manor, located along the east bank of the Richelieu River, in Mont-Saint-Hilaire.

[3] The entrance to the Rouville-Campbell manor is located 0.5 km (0.31 mi) from the Jordi-Bonet bridge, by Chemin des Patriotes (route 133).
