Peace Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in Calgary, Canada.
The Peace Bridge spans the Bow River with a red and white helicoidal steel structure measuring 126 meters in length and 8 meters in width.
Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava designed this steel and glass crossing point, which opened to the public on March 24, 2012 in downtown Calgary.
The bridge connects the Bow River pathway system between downtown Calgary and the Sunnyside neighborhood, serving as a central point for community gatherings.
Separate lanes for cyclists in the center and elevated pedestrian paths on both sides allow 6,000 people to cross the bridge daily.
The structure features integrated linear lighting along its railings and framework, creating reflections on the Bow River water surface during evening hours.

Bridges are a part of our daily lives. They have connected banks, valleys, and communities for centuries. This collection presents structures from various periods and regions. From medieval stone arches to modern steel constructions, these works demonstrate the evolution of engineering. The Rialto Bridge from the 16th century in Venice spans the Grand Canal with a single stone arch. The Golden Gate in San Francisco stretches over 1.7 miles (2.7 km), linking the city to northern California. In Singapore, the Helix Bridge forms a pedestrian link in Marina Bay with its double-helix structure. These structures serve practical purposes in urban transportation while shaping city skylines. They provide technical solutions to geographical barriers and reflect different approaches to bridge construction through the ages.
