Dudley B. Menzies Bridge, Railway bridge in Edmonton, Canada.
The Dudley B. Menzies Bridge is a railway viaduct that spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton and carries two tracks for the Light Rail Transit system. Beneath the main spans runs a walkway that allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the river throughout the year.
The Dudley B. Menzies Bridge was built as the first concrete segmental box girder bridge in Western Canada.

The bridge is named after Dudley Blair Menzies, an Edmonton engineer and politician. The name honours his contributions to the city and its infrastructure.
The bridge is accessible year-round and offers good passageways for different users. Visitors should be cautious during icy or snowy conditions, as weather can affect underfoot safety depending on the season.
