The Louise Bridge crosses the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The bridge connects Downtown West End with Memorial Drive and Kensington. It is configured with reversible lanes to accommodate higher traffic into Downtown during the early morning hours, and higher outbound traffic during the afternoon commute.

History

The bridge was built in 1921 and originally it carried street car and pedestrian traffic. It was named after Louise Cushing, daughter of William Henry Cushing, Calgary mayor from 1900 to 1901.[1]

The bridge was rehabilitated in 1995, with a design conceived by Simpson Roberts Wappel, at a cost of $5.1 million.[1] It carries a daily traffic of 26,000 vehicles.

Design

The bridge is a reinforced concrete structure built on five wall arched spans. It has a length of {{convert|172|m|ft|sp=us}}, with each span measuring {{convert|32|m|ft|sp=us}}.[2] The total width of the bridge is {{convert|19.6|m|ft|sp=us}}.
