CPR Bridge, Railway bridge in Saskatoon, Canada
The CPR Bridge stretches 341 meters across the South Saskatchewan River, featuring a steel structure with wooden and concrete components.
Canadian Pacific Railway constructed this bridge in 1908, making it the second railway crossing in Saskatoon after the Grand Trunk Bridge.
The bridge includes a pedestrian walkway added in 1909, connecting the university area to downtown Saskatoon for daily commuters and students.
Standing 19.5 meters above the water, the bridge maintains clearance for river traffic while serving as part of the CP rail line to Sutherland yards.
The bridge appears in literature through Farley Mowat's 1961 novella 'Owls in the Family' under the name Railroad Bridge.
