Nipigon River Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Nipigon, Canada.

The Nipigon River Bridge extends across 252 meters with twin spans and features two concrete towers measuring 75 meters in height.

Built in 2017, this structure replaced the 1937 steel deck truss bridge and the subsequent 1974 steel plate girder installation at the crossing point.

The bridge forms part of the Trans-Canada Highway system, connecting eastern and western portions of the country through Ontario's Superior Country region.

Travelers can access viewing platforms and walking paths beneath the structure, offering multiple perspectives of the engineering construction and river landscape.

During a severe winter storm in 2016, forty bolts failed on the northwest bearing, causing the deck to rise 60 centimeters above its normal position.
