About
The Provencher Bridge (French: Pont Provencher) is a set of paired bridges — a four-lane vehicular bridge and a suspended pedestrian bridge (called Esplanade Riel) — across the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The bridge links downtown Winnipeg and The Forks historic area with St. Boniface, a Winnipeg community across the Red River. It derived its name from the connecting Boulevard Provencher (Provencher Boulevard).
The vehicular bridge serves Route 57 and is a main connector from downtown Winnipeg to most of the eastern communities in Winnipeg. The speed limit on the bridge is 50 km/h (31 mph).
