Star Mine Suspension Bridge, Pedestrian suspension bridge in Rosedale, Alberta, Canada
The Star Mine Suspension Bridge extends 117 meters across the Red Deer River, featuring steel cables and wooden planks for pedestrian crossing.
The bridge, constructed in 1931, served coal miners accessing Star Mine until 1957, when mining operations in the area ceased.
This structure represents the industrial heritage of Drumheller Valley, demonstrating the connection between mining communities and infrastructure development.
The bridge reopened to pedestrians in January 2024 after extensive repairs to the northeast support structure and safety improvements.
The bridge offers elevated views of Alberta Badlands landscapes and the Red Deer River from a height that allows observation of geological formations.
