Albert Memorial Bridge, Municipal heritage bridge in Regina, Canada
The Albert Memorial Bridge is a beam bridge structure in Regina that extends across a creek with four lanes for vehicle traffic. The structure features Egyptian-style architectural elements including ornamental columns and decorative details throughout.
The bridge was built in the 1930s as an employment project during the Great Depression. It was originally dedicated as a memorial to Saskatchewan soldiers who died in World War I.
The bridge displays Egyptian Revival elements with glazed papyrus columns and decorative buffalo head ornaments that shape its appearance. These ornamental details give the crossing over the creek an unusual artistic character.
The bridge underwent extensive renovation in 2009, with the deck surface renewed and railings repaired. When visiting, note that the structure serves as an important traffic route and vehicle use should be expected.
The bridge spans across a creek that is remarkably narrow, giving the structure an unusual relationship between its size and the water surface. This feature makes it an interesting peculiarity of its design.
