Esplanade Riel is a pedestrian bridge in Winnipeg, Canada, spanning the Red River and connecting downtown Winnipeg with the St. Boniface neighborhood. Named after the Métis leader Louis Riel, the bridge is notable for its striking architectural design, featuring a central mast and cable-stay system. Opened in 2003, it not only serves as a functional crossing for pedestrians and cyclists but also houses a restaurant, making it a unique urban landmark.
