Description
The St. Louis Bridge is a steel structure spanning the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatchewan. It was originally built for rail traffic and later adapted to carry both vehicle and foot traffic across the river.
History
The structure was built in 1915 as part of a major railway expansion across the prairies. A decade later, vehicle lanes were added to serve the growing number of cars using the crossing.
Culture
The crossing links two communities on opposite banks and serves as a daily passage for residents traveling between them. Local people rely on it as part of their everyday route through the region.
Practical
It is best reached by car since the approach is straightforward and well-defined. Visiting during daylight hours gives you a clear view of the river valley and the surrounding landscape.
