A quaint bridge in North Cambridge. Excellant fishing spot.
Small parking area on west side of bridge. Bridge is one lane only,
please use caution while searching.
The Black Bridge Road bridge, constructed in 1916, is a
well-preserved example of a construction style that was common
100years ago, but is rarely used today. It is the only single lane,
pin-jointed steel Pratt truss bridge in the City of Cambridge and
is ranked one of the 10 most historically-significant bridges
within Waterloo Region.
The Black Bridge Road Bridge was designated under the Ontario
Heritage Act by the City of Cambridge for it scultural heritage
value and interest in February 1997.
The designation states that despite repairs, the bridge has
retained its original form. The unveiling of the heritage plaque
celebrates the bridge’s significant historical past and its
bright future as a functional and beautiful piece of public
infrastructure.
