Mackenzie King Bridge, Transit bridge in Ottawa, Canada
The Mackenzie King Bridge extends over the Rideau Canal, connecting the Rideau Centre to Confederation Park through the heart of downtown Ottawa.
Constructed in 1951, the bridge underwent substantial renovation between 1996 and 1998 to maintain its structural integrity and enhance public transportation access.
The structure bears the name of William Lyon Mackenzie King, the longest-serving Prime Minister in Canadian history, who led the nation through critical periods.
The bridge accommodates multiple lanes of traffic, dedicated bus stops at Mackenzie King Station, and provides direct access to the Department of National Defence Headquarters.
Following recommendations from Solon Low, authorities changed the initial plan to name the bridge after Colonel John By, selecting instead to honor Prime Minister King.
