Adàwe Crossing

The Adàwe Crossing is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, built across the Rideau River. It is located about 1,200 metres north of the Highway 417 bridge and 800 metres south from the Cummings Bridge. It was opened on December 4, 2015 and links the communities of Overbook and Sandy Hill.

The Adàwe Crossing is an approximately 125m long bridge structure that consists of three spans with variable steel girders and a composite concrete deck. The usable deck width is 4m and it increases to a 7m width at the two mid-river piers which provide for two lookout areas on both the north and south sides. The Rideau River is a navigable river and the height of the bridge respects water clearance requirements including those for the annual spring ice clearing operations.
