Grand Trunk Bridge, Railway bridge in Saskatoon, Canada.
Description
The Grand Trunk Bridge is a railway bridge spanning the South Saskatchewan River and carrying train tracks through Saskatoon. The structure uses steel trusses to support the rail line as it crosses the waterway.
History
Built in 1908 as part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway project, the bridge became part of the Canadian National Railway system following a 1920 merger. This combination reshaped rail operations across the country.
Culture
The structure represents the advancement of transportation engineering in Saskatchewan, marking the early development period of railway infrastructure in Western Canada.
Practical
The best views of the bridge are available from nearby parks and riverbank areas where you can see the structure from multiple angles. The bridge is primarily a working railway structure and not open for public crossing.
Did you know?
After the 2016 removal of the original Traffic Bridge, this became the oldest standing crossing in the city. The structure is a rare surviving example of early railway infrastructure from this era of Western Canadian development.
