The Vimy Memorial Bridge is a new structure crossing the Rideau River in Ottawa, Canada. The Rideau River at the bridge location is part of the Rideau Canal System, a recognized National Historic Site in Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An overhead structure, comprised of steel tubular triple arches, that spans the entire waterway with a 125m main span, exceeded the imposed design requirements and resulted in an iconic gateway structure. The bridge design incorporated several durability features to achieve the 100-year design life and to minimize future works to the bridge at this nationally significant site. |
