Mintlaw Viaduct, Railway bridge over Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada

The Mintlaw Viaduct extends 2,112 feet across the Red Deer River, rising 110 feet above the water with a longest span of 150 feet.

The Alberta Central Railway started construction in 1911, and the Canadian Pacific Railway completed the steel and wooden trestle bridge in 1912.

Red Deer County purchased the bridge for one dollar in 2009, recognizing its status as a notable transportation landmark in central Alberta.

The bridge stands unused since 1981, with maintenance work performed on both sides through allocated funds of $350,000 in 2010.

This structure holds the position of second longest Canadian Pacific Railway bridge of its type in Alberta and the highest bridge in the central region.
