BDI Bridge, Steel footbridge in Winnipeg, Canada
The BDI Bridge extends 521 feet across the Red River with a pedestrian walkway measuring 16 feet in width, connecting neighborhoods in Winnipeg.
Engineers completed the construction of this steel truss bridge in 1913, initially charging tolls of 5 cents for pedestrians and 10 cents for cars.
The Bridge Drive-In ice cream shop, established in 1957 near the bridge, led locals to rename the structure as the BDI Bridge.
The bridge provides a direct route for pedestrians and cyclists between residential areas, remaining open throughout the year for river crossings.
Every March 23rd, crowds gather at the bridge to mark the seasonal opening of the adjacent ice cream shop, creating lines that extend across the structure.
