Skytrail

The 3000-foot Skytrail spans across the South Saskatchewan River, reaching a height of 150 feet with eight continuous steel spans.

Canadian Pacific Railway constructed this bridge in 1912 using steel sections from a dismantled 1887 Saint-Laurent Railway Bridge in Montreal, Quebec.

The bridge serves as a segment of the Trans Canada Trail network, connecting communities and offering views of migratory birds along the North American Central Flyway.

The structure requires extensive repairs estimated between 6.5 and 13 million dollars, leading to its closure since October 2013 due to safety concerns.

The bridge features the longest Whipple deck trusses in North America, a rare engineering design that distinguishes it from other Canadian bridges.
