Pedestrian Bridge

A new iconic landmark for Cambridge

The new pedestrian bridge in downtown Galt officially opened to the public on Saturday, May 26, 2018. The new bridge provides pedestrian access across the Grand River between Founder's Point on the east and the Cambridge Sculpture Garden on the west. 

As part of the "Back to the Rivers" vision for Cambridge, the new bridge increases connectivity to the river-scape and improves pedestrian and cycling connections within downtown Cambridge. Connecting to the Grand Trunk Trail, the bridge offers walkers and cyclers a no-vehicle alternative along the route. With cycling ramps along the stairs at the east bank, and accessible pedestrian ramps on both sides, the bridge makes for an ideal active transporation option.
