The Kichi Sipi Bridge is a 260-metre (850 ft) long, four-span bridge that crosses a deep channel of the Nelson River south of Cross Lake in Manitoba, providing the only all-weather road link between north-eastern Manitoba and the rest of Canada (and North America).
It is the second longest road bridge in Manitoba.[note 1] Kichi sipi is Cree for 'Great River'.[1]
