Louise Bridge, Concrete bridge in Calgary, Canada
Louise Bridge is a concrete bridge in Calgary that crosses the Bow River and connects Downtown with Kensington. It features five arched spans and carries four lanes of traffic on 10th Street SW.
The bridge was built in 1921 by Fegles Construction Company from Minneapolis and originally served streetcars and pedestrians. Over time it was adapted to support modern vehicle traffic.
The bridge received its name from Louise Cushing, whose father William Henry Cushing served as Calgary's mayor from 1900 to 1901.
The bridge uses a reversible lane system that adjusts to traffic patterns throughout the day. Pedestrians and cyclists can also cross, so stay alert to vehicle movement.
Each of the five wall-arched spans measures 32 meters in length, with an overall width of 19.6 meters supporting daily traffic of 16,000 vehicles.
