Broadway Bridge, Concrete deck arch bridge in Saskatoon, Canada
The 355-meter Broadway Bridge spans across the South Saskatchewan River with five main spans and seven approach spans, reaching 24 meters above water level.
The bridge construction began in 1932 during the Great Depression as a make-work project, employing 1,593 men working in three continuous shifts.
The structure appears in Joni Mitchell's song Cherokee Louise, reflecting her connection to Saskatoon where she spent her early years.
The bridge carries four lanes of traffic, connecting Broadway Avenue on the east shore to 19th Street and 4th Avenue in downtown Saskatoon.
Engineer Chalmers Jack MacKenzie designed this bridge while on leave from his position as Dean of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.
