Architectural Features

The bridge features four elegant arched spans constructed of reinforced concrete, an engineering feat of its time. It accommodates both upper and lower traffic decks, enhancing its functionality. The design is further enriched by ornamental kiosks at each end, each topped with regal lion sculptures inspired by those in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Historical Significance

The Centre Street Bridge replaced the original MacArthur Bridge, which was destroyed during a catastrophic flood in 1915. Its completion marked a pivotal moment in Calgary’s development, enabling better connectivity to neighborhoods north of the Bow River, including Crescent Heights, Mount Pleasant, and Renfrew.

Preservation Efforts

Recognized as a Municipal Historic Resource in 1992, the bridge underwent extensive restorations in 2001 to ensure its structural integrity and preserve its historical charm. These efforts have allowed the bridge to remain a functional and symbolic asset to Calgary.

Why Visit the Centre Street Bridge?

Beyond its practical use, the Centre Street Bridge offers stunning views of Calgary’s skyline and the Bow River. It stands as a testament to the city’s resilience and dedication to preserving its heritage, making it a must-visit site for locals and visitors alike.
