River Arch - Winnipeg, Manitoba - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

River Arch, installed in October 1999, in Winnipeg, Manitoba was commissioned by the City of Winnipeg to serve as a symbol of the city at its gateway where two new bridges span the Red River as you enter the downtown area. It was the winning proposal in a national competition, by Catherine Widgery. The asymmetrical parabolic arch made of stainless steel rises up out of the river to the shore between the bridges. It can be viewed from below on the river walk or from the river itself and is seen from many vantage points along the river and the roadways.

Materials: stone, stainless steel, aluminum, gold leaf, concrete
