Skytrail

Skytrail is a footbridge in Outlook, Saskatchewan, spanning the South Saskatchewan River. The structure was originally built as a railway crossing before being converted for pedestrian use.

The bridge was constructed in 1912 by Canadian Pacific Railway using steel components from a demolished 1887 bridge that came from Montreal. This practice of repurposing older structural elements was common during that era.

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 bridge is currently not accessible to visitors due to safety concerns. You cannot cross it in its current condition.

The bridge contains a rare engineering design called Whipple deck trusses that is seldom found in North America. This structural feature makes it particularly valuable to engineering specialists.
