Nearby landmarks include Misericordia Health Centre, Cornish Library, and Shaarey Zedek Synagogue.

[15] Since 1995, the Maryland Bridge has been the site of the Misericordia Health Centre Foundation’s annual Angel Squad fundraiser.

As part of the fundraiser, volunteers line the bridge in the early morning dressed as angels offering coffee to drivers in exchange for donations.

[20] In the spring of 2020, the city of Winnipeg began testing noise makers to deter homeless camps underneath the bridge.

The project was discontinued in June after criticism from city councillors and citizens about the rights and dignity of the homeless population.

Indigenous men's support group Healing Together found and replaced the missing ribbons in early 2021.

[13] This iteration of the Maryland Bridge was described by the Winnipeg Free Press as having a "Renaissance character" with "classic mouldings and features".

[26] The second bridge was a concrete arch structure that included a coloured aggregate of red granite, crushed to pass through a .75 inches (19 mm) screen, exposed by scrubbing with steel brushes, and cleaned by several washings of muriatic acid and water.

[27] The current bridge consists of I-shaped AASHTO girders[28] and twin, five-span continuous precast prestressed concrete structures.
