The Dudley B. Menzies Bridge is a dedicated LRT bridge crossing the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main deck carries two tracks of the LRT system connecting Grandin (Government Centre) Station and the University Station. A walkway for pedestrians and bicycles hangs beneath the main spans of the bridge over the river.

The bridge was the "first concrete segmental box girder bridge in Western Canada".^[1]

The American Concrete Institute recognized the joint venture company that built the Dudley B. Menzies Bridge with an Award of Excellence for Design and Construction in Concrete.^[1]
