Capilano Bridge, Six-lane bridge in Edmonton, Canada

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.

The bridge takes its name from the former Capilano Freeway, now Wayne Gretzky Drive, which in turn echoes the Capilano neighbourhood at its south end. The Arabic Wikipedia instead attributes the name to that neighbourhood directly. The structure was inaugurated by mayor Ivor Dent.

The bridge's sidewalk was closed in June 2021 for about two months of maintenance, so check the city's notices before planning a crossing on foot. The southwest trail just west of the bridge on the south bank has been closed since January 2020, when a section of the walking path collapsed; Edmonton introduced a repair and renewal project afterward.

The bridge is named after the former Capilano Freeway, which is now Wayne Gretzky Drive; the bridge itself carries that road across the river. Mayor Ivor Dent officially inaugurated it in 1969.
