Grand River Bridge, Tied-arch bridge in Caledonia, Canada

The Grand River Bridge extends 700 feet across the water with nine concrete spans and features pedestrian walkways on both sides of the structure.

The current bridge, constructed in 1927, replaced an iron structure from 1875 that collapsed due to a truck accident, marking a shift to reinforced concrete design.

The structure stands as an engineering milestone in Ontario, representing the first reinforced concrete bridge of its type and maintains its original architectural elements.

The bridge carries Argyle Street traffic over the Grand River with a maximum weight limit of 8 tonnes and includes traffic signals at both entrances.

This structure holds the distinction of being the only nine-span tied-arch bridge in Canada, stretching 213.4 meters across the Grand River.
