BDI Bridge

The BDI Bridge, or Elm Park Bridge, is a bridge across the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The bridge links Kingston Crescent with the Jubilee/Osborne area, a Winnipeg community across the Red River. The BDI Bridge gets its name from the nearby Bridge-Drive-In (BDI), a popular ice cream vendor. It was built in 1912 and it was open to two-way vehicular traffic. The deck of the bridge is only 15 feet wide but even the large cars of the early '60s passed each other. In 1965, it was closed to vehicular traffic, and is a common bridge for foot traffic to the BDI in summer.
