Gordie Howe Bridge, Road bridge in Saskatoon, Canada.
The Gordie Howe Bridge is a six-lane road bridge spanning 440 meters across the South Saskatchewan River. The structure features reinforced concrete and steel construction, connecting two sections of the Circle Drive freeway.
The bridge was completed in 2013 to improve traffic connections across Saskatoon. The project faced delays due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and early winter storms during construction.
The bridge carries the name of a hockey player from Saskatchewan, reflecting how the city honors local sports figures through its infrastructure.
The bridge serves vehicle traffic and connects the eastern and western sections of the city. Visitors can view the structure from the river or from nearby streets and parks along the route.
The bridge was built as a major construction project with a budget exceeding 200 million dollars, making it one of the city's largest infrastructure investments. Its six support piers anchored in the water represent a significant engineering achievement for the region.
