Quesnell Bridge

The Quesnell Bridge extends 333 meters across the North Saskatchewan River with six spans of precast concrete and dual carriageways.

The bridge construction began in June 1967 following Edmonton City Council's approval in December 1966, with a final cost of 2.7 million dollars.

The structure connects multiple Edmonton communities including Brookside, Brander Gardens, Quesnell Heights, and Laurier Heights across the North Saskatchewan River.

The bridge accommodates 120,000 vehicles daily with four lanes in each direction and includes a 4.2-meter-wide shared path for pedestrians.

During the 2010 excavation works near the bridge, workers discovered fossils of Edmontosaurus and Albertosaurus at 27 meters depth.
