Grand River Pedestrian Bridge

Years | 2015-2019
Location | Cambridge, Canada

The Grand River Pedestrian Bridge links the east and west sides of the Grand River, providing a car-free option for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge reuses an existing pier in the river and was installed in two sections from the shore.

The bridge provides a connection between the future Gaslight District, the Dunfield Theatre and the University of Waterloo School of Architecture on the east side, with the Galt Little Theatre, new digital library and other downtown amenities on the west side of the river.

T.K. Justin Ng and Joshua Macdonald were a winning team of the Grand River Pedestrian Bridge Design Competition. They continued the development of the bridge with The Ventin Group. The bridge opened to the public in the spring of 2018.
