Centre Street Bridge

Centre Street Bridge is one of Calgary’s most iconic historic bridges, connecting downtown Calgary with the community of Crescent Heights across the Bow River. Opened in 1916, the bridge is renowned for its elegant Beaux-Arts design and its four monumental lion sculptures that guard each corner.

The bridge offers scenic views of the Bow River, the downtown skyline, and nearby neighbourhoods, making it a favourite spot for photography and leisurely walks. As both a functional transportation route and a heritage landmark, Centre Street Bridge represents Calgary’s early 20th-century ambition and architectural pride.
