The pedestrian bridge, or the Esplanade Riel (Named for Louis Riel, the father of Manitoba), parallels the new Broadway bridge, and is a side-spar cable-stayed bridge designed by Colin Douglas Stewart. Most local people consider Esplanade Riel a local landmark. A few are displeased with the look of the bridge, stating it resembles a phallic symbol. The bridge started construction in August 2002, and was completed the same year as the vehicular bridge. The unique piece of the Esplanade Riel is the restaurant in the middle of the bridge.
Originally this restaurant was a Salisbury House restaurant, a popular chain restaurant in Manitoba. The restaurant was partly owned by Burton Cummings of the Guess Who.
