Cambridge Main Street Bridge, Heritage road bridge in Cambridge, Canada

The concrete bowstring arch bridge extends 57.3 meters across the Grand River, connecting Melville Street to Water Street through two equal spans.

Constructed by W.H. Yates Construction Company in 1931, the bridge addressed the increased transportation needs during southern Ontario's population growth period.

The bridge links the downtown areas of former Galt city, forming a central element in Cambridge's architectural and municipal development over nine decades.

Two vehicle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks provide essential crossing access between eastern and western sections of Cambridge's historic center.

The structure features limestone bedrock foundations and decorative concrete rails, representing engineering methods from the early twentieth century.
