Academy Road (Winnipeg)

Academy Road (Winnipeg)

Academy Road is a street in the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It runs from the Maryland Bridge to Wellington Crescent, just west of Route 90/Kenaston Blvd. It is located in the affluent residential neighbourhood of River Heights and has many exclusive retail stores. The Uptown Bowling Lanes, formerly a luxury theatre, is of significant historical and architectural interest.

The route was originally named after St. Mary's Academy, a private girls' school, which lies just south of the Maryland Bridge. The portion west of Cambridge Street was originally named Godfrey Avenue but was renamed Academy Road in the 1930s. It was originally served by "Broadway" street cars, but the route became known later on as "Academy Road" when this section became the more important portion of the route. The speed limit along the street is 50 km/h (30 mph).
