Fort Edmonton Footbridge, Suspension footbridge in Edmonton, Canada
The Fort Edmonton Footbridge spans 246 meters across the North Saskatchewan River with three suspended sections connected by steel cables and concrete platforms.
Construction of this infrastructure project started in 2008 with a cost of 28.2 million dollars, shared between Edmonton City, Alberta Province, and River Valley Alliance.
The bridge forms part of Edmonton's extensive trail network, connecting communities through 2.5 kilometers of newly created pathways across the river valley.
The 5-meter wide deck accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, providing direct access between Fort Edmonton Park and the eastern river bank neighborhoods.
Components of this bridge came from multiple countries, with cables manufactured in the United Kingdom and assembled in the United States.
