Tawatinâ Bridge, Railway bridge in Edmonton, Canada

The Tawatinâ Bridge is an extradosed light rail bridge over the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, made of concrete box girder spans. It carries two railway tracks, one northbound toward Downtown Edmonton and one southbound toward Mill Woods. Suspended eight metres below the tracks is a shared-use path for pedestrians and cyclists, opened on December 12, 2021.

This structure was built as part of the Valley Line Southeast extension and opened to the public in November 2023. The project represented a major step forward in expanding Edmonton's light rail network.

Tawatinâ means "valley" in Cree, a name chosen for the river valley the bridge spans. The 550-odd artworks fixed under the box girder were made by Métis artist David Garneau, Indigenous artists and Regina artist Madhu Kumar working with non-Indigenous artists, and are seen from the shared path below.

The shared-use path hangs beneath the box girder, eight metres wide, and opened on December 12, 2021, before the trains began running on November 4, 2023. Walkers and cyclists reach it from the river valley trails at either end; the 550 artworks face upward on the girder above, so look up as you cross.

The bridge displays around 550 artworks by Métis artist David Garneau alongside other Indigenous and non-Indigenous creators. This collection turns the walk beneath the tracks into a gallery showcasing local artistic voices and perspectives.
