Humber Bay Arch Bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Toronto, Canada

Humber Bay Arch Bridge is a 139-metre pedestrian and bicycle through-arch bridge at the mouth of the Humber River. Two steel pipes 1,200 millimetres in diameter form twin arches rising 21.3 metres, joined by a steel lattice and tied to concrete blocks on the banks. The 6.5-metre deck is carried by 44 stainless-steel hangers, and the clear span of 100 metres leaves the river current unobstructed.

Designed in 1994 by Montgomery Sisam Architects and Delcan Corporation, the bridge was built by Sonterlan Construction and finished in 1994, though some sources date the official opening to 25 June 1996. It cost about 4 million Canadian dollars and won awards including Canadian Architect in 1995 and a City of Toronto Urban Design Award of Excellence in 1997.

Carved turtles and canoes adorn the structure, honoring the Indigenous peoples who once traveled these waters. These symbols mark the start of an important walking trail that connects visitors to that heritage.

The bridge is open year-round to foot and bicycle traffic, with level pathways on both sides making access straightforward. Visit during dry conditions for the most comfortable walking and cycling experience across the span.

The 44 stainless-steel hangers, each 50 mm in diameter, are visible above the deck, running from the twin arches down to the walkway. The steel lattice between the arches was shaped to recall a thunderbird from Indigenous mythology, and turtles, canoes, snakes and salmon are carved at the bridge entrances and beneath it.
