University Drive Bridge

Reimagining University Drive Bridge

The University Drive Bridge was built in the early 1920’s as one of the first structures constructed on campus. The bridge crosses the North Branch of the Thames River, carrying a mixed use of vehicular and active transportation. Given the age of the structure and growing campus population, Western, in partnership with its consultant, BTE-Entuitive, have initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Study.

The Study will consider how to provide a structure that can address the active and vehicular transportation requirements of a growing campus, while respecting the 100-year old landmark character of the bridge framing the view to the Middlesex County Memorial Tower at University College.
