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.

Louise Bridge was built in 1921 and originally carried streetcars and pedestrians. It was named after Louise Cushing, daughter of William Henry Cushing, Calgary's mayor from 1900 to 1901. In 1995 it was rehabilitated with a design by Simpson Roberts Wappel at a cost of $5.1 million.

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.

The 1995 rehabilitation was designed by Simpson Roberts Wappel and cost $5.1 million. The bridge deck is 172 meters long overall, and its five spans sit on wall arches rather than open arches, a detail visible from the Bow River pathways below.
