The iconic new Walterdale Bridge connects the city, nature, and people
DIALOG
Walterdale Bridge is a gracious, single span, twin through-arch steel structure, spanning 206 m (greater than the length of two football fields) from bank to bank across the North Saskatchewan River. It carries three lanes of northbound vehicle traffic, a sidewalk to the west of the roadway and a separated footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists to the east.

The landscape architecture connects people with the bridge and nature. People no longer need to cross traffic to continue on the trails in any direction. With less than 5% grade, all paved paths are fully accessible.

Large thrust blocks provide a foundation for the arches, which carry the bridge load. Each thrust block is made of about 600m3 of concrete and 44 steel micropiles installed 20m below the road elevation. That’s about as deep as a six-storey parking garage.

The shared use path bridge is one of a kind. Sharing the eastern arch but separated from traffic, it is designed for people to enjoy crossing and lingering. Benches with high backs help reduce traffic noise and soften prevailing winds. At each end, the path is about twice as wide as it is in the middle, gracefully connecting with the valley.

The bridge deck, supported by 32 hangers, is a steel framework supporting a cast-in-place concrete deck covered with asphalt. It used 65 tonnes of reinforcing steel and 1600m3 of concrete. The bridge currently carries three lanes of traffic, but is designed so that another lane can be added.

The underside of the bridge was an important consideration in the design. The experience of walking or boating under the bridge is enjoyable and memorable.
