The Cummings Bridge is an 8 span concrete arch bridge built in 1921 and renovated in 1998. It links Rideau Street and Montreal Road in Ottawa, Ontario.

"The area east of the Cummings Bridge, later named Vanier was first linked to the Sandy Hill area of Ottawa with a wooden bridge erected in 1835, which went over a small island in the Rideau River. The Cummings family settled the island, had a store there, and the island and bridge became associated with the Cummings name.

The current bridge was constructed in 1921. Charles Cummings had a son, Robert Cummings who became Reeve of Gloucester Township and Warden of Carleton County, Ontario."
