George C. King Bridge, Pedestrian bridge in East Village, Canada.
The George C. King Bridge spans 182 meters across the Bow River, connecting East Village with Bridgeland through three steel and concrete sections.
Construction began in 2012, but the 2013 floods destroyed the bridge deck, requiring complete replacement before its final opening in October 2014.
The bridge design incorporates architectural elements that reference its local name, the Skipping Stone Bridge, due to its curved structure over water.
The structure facilitates daily commutes between neighborhoods while offering direct access to St. Patrick's Island Park in the middle of the river.
During the 2013 Calgary floods, the partially built bridge lost several supports, making it the first reconstructed bridge among those affected.
