Tawatinâ Bridge, Railway bridge in Edmonton, Canada

The Tawatinâ Bridge spans 260 meters across the North Saskatchewan River, featuring a concrete box girder design and two railway tracks for light rail transit.

The bridge marks a milestone in Edmonton's transportation development as part of the Valley Line Southeast light rail extension, which opened to the public in November 2023.

The name Tawatinâ, meaning valley in Cree language, represents the bridge's connection to Indigenous heritage through its naming and artistic installations beneath the structure.

The structure includes an eight-meter-wide shared-use path suspended below the railway tracks, connecting pedestrians and cyclists between downtown Edmonton and Mill Woods.

The bridge incorporates 550 art pieces by Métis artist David Garneau and other Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, displayed along the pedestrian walkway.
