Kichi Sipi Bridge, Transportation bridge in northern Manitoba, Canada.

The 260-meter long Kichi Sipi Bridge spans across the Nelson River with four sections constructed of concrete and steel plate girders.

The bridge opened in December 2002 following legal actions by the Cross Lake Indian Band regarding the need for improved transportation access.

The name derives from Cree language words meaning Great River, reflecting the connection between the Nelson River and indigenous communities.

The structure carries Provincial Road 374 and provides the only permanent road connection between northeastern Manitoba and the rest of Canada.

The bridge foundation uses six small diameter battered rock-socketed concrete caissons that minimize ice contact during winter conditions.
