Billings Bridge

Billings Bridge, Vehicular bridge in Capital Ward, Ottawa, Canada

Billings Bridge is a four-lane steel and concrete structure carrying Bank Street across the Rideau River, linking the northern and southern sections of Ottawa's Capital Ward. The bridge provides pedestrian walkways and connects directly to a shopping center and transit station on its approach.

The first crossing at this location was built in 1830 as Farmers Bridge to provide passage over the Rideau River. The current steel and concrete structure was completed in 1916 to replace the earlier wooden bridge.

The bridge and the surrounding neighbourhood take their name from Braddish Billings, who arrived from Brockville in 1812 and cut a farm from the forest on the Rideau River. In 1823 he built a sawmill on a creek on his property; that stream is still called Sawmill Creek. The first crossing, Farmers Bridge, was built by Billings in 1831 and was commonly known as Billings Bridge by 1859.

The bridge is accessible daily with direct connections to bus stations and a shopping center on the south side. Pedestrians should use the designated walkways, and caution is advised during winter weather when the surface may become slippery.
