The Esplanade Riel is a pedestrian bridge located in Winnipeg, Manitoba designed by Etienne Gaboury and completed in 2003[1]. It spans the Red River connecting downtown Winnipeg with St. Boniface. It is paired with a vehicular bridge, Provencher Bridge. The bridge is unique in that it has a restaurant (Salisbury House) on it, giving patrons an excellent view of the river. The Esplanade Riel has become a landmark and is used in many promotional materials. The bridge itself is a side-spar cable-stayed bridge.
