Billings Bridge, Vehicular bridge in Capital Ward, Ottawa, Canada
The steel bridge spans across the Rideau River at Bank Street, connecting the northern and southern sections of Ottawa's Capital Ward district.
The original structure, built in 1830 and called Farmers Bridge, was replaced by the current concrete and steel bridge construction in 1916.
The bridge bears the name of Braddish Billings, who established a farm near the crossing point in 1812 and built the first sawmill in the area.
The bridge accommodates four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways, with direct access to the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre and public transit station.
During the winter months, the bridge provides views of skaters gliding along the frozen Rideau River below.
