Dawson Bridge, Road bridge in Edmonton, Canada
The Dawson Bridge stretches 236.5 meters across the North Saskatchewan River, connecting Forest Heights to Riverdale with two traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.
The bridge, constructed as a critical transportation link in Edmonton, began service in 1912 and continues to serve as a vital crossing point over the river.
The bridge forms an integral part of Edmonton's transportation network, connecting different communities and supporting local neighborhood development across the North Saskatchewan River.
Daily traffic counts indicate approximately 11,700 vehicles cross this bridge, which underwent substantial repairs and improvements before reopening in December 2010.
The structure maintains its original early 20th-century engineering features while incorporating modern safety standards through regular maintenance and structural assessments.
