Petrofka Bridge, River crossing bridge in Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan.
The Petrofka Bridge spans across the North Saskatchewan River, providing a vital transportation link for Highway 12 and surrounding communities.
Constructed between 1960 and 1963, the Petrofka Bridge replaced two ferry services, marking a new era of transportation in Saskatchewan.
The bridge takes its name from a nearby Doukhobor village, reflecting the historical presence of this Russian religious group in Saskatchewan.
Located at coordinates 52.6453°N and 106.843°W, the bridge serves as the main crossing point for vehicles traveling between northern and southern Saskatchewan regions.
The bridge construction transformed the local transportation system by replacing the Petrofka and Laird ferry crossings that previously served the area.
