Capilano Bridge

Capilano Bridge is a six-lane road bridge in Edmonton that spans the North Saskatchewan River. It links the neighborhoods of Capilano and Forest Heights to Virginia Park and Highlands.

The bridge opened in 1969 as a key transportation link connecting Edmonton's expanding neighborhoods. It became part of the city's growing road network that supported urban development on both sides of the river.

Local residents gather near the bridge throughout the year for community activities, making it a central point for neighborhood connections.

Pedestrians can cross the bridge safely using dedicated walkways that connect to nearby trails and parks. The bridge is open year-round, though weather conditions may affect walking comfort during winter months.

The bridge forms part of a corridor where three separate pedestrian crossings over the North Saskatchewan River are available to visitors. Each offers a different route for people exploring the river valley on foot or by bike.
