Provencher Bridge

The Provencher Bridge (French: Pont Provencher) is a set of paired bridges — a four-lane vehicular bridge and a suspended pedestrian bridge (called Esplanade Riel) — across the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The bridge links downtown Winnipeg and The Forks historic area with St. Boniface,

a Winnipeg community across the Red River. It derived its name from the connecting Boulevard Provencher (Provencher Boulevard). The vehicular bridge serves Route 57 and is a main connector from downtown Winnipeg to most of the eastern communities in Winnipeg. The speed limit on the bridge is 50 km/h (31 mph).
