Cummings Bridge, Concrete open spandrel deck arch bridge in Ottawa, Canada.

The Cummings Bridge stretches 213 meters across the Rideau River, connecting Rideau Street to Montreal Road with four traffic lanes and sidewalks.

The original wooden bridge from 1835 crossed through Cummings Island, where the Cummings family established their residence and operated a store.

The bridge construction in 1921 marked a shift in local development, leading to improved connections between Ottawa neighborhoods and the former town of Vanier.

The structure includes dedicated bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways, making it accessible for multiple transportation modes between central Ottawa and eastern districts.

The bridge bypasses Cummings Island, which once housed the first telephone installation in Gloucester Township and multiple commercial establishments.
