Deh Cho Bridge, Cable bridge across Mackenzie River in Fort Providence, Canada
The Deh Cho Bridge spans 1100 meters over the Mackenzie River, featuring nine sections supported by eight concrete pillars and weathering steel elements.
The construction of this 202 million dollar infrastructure project began in 2008 and reached completion on November 30, 2012 after numerous technical challenges.
The bridge connects Northern communities year-round, replacing the traditional ferry and ice road system that previously regulated transportation across the Mackenzie River.
Commercial vehicles weighing over 4,500 kilograms must pay tolls to cross the bridge, while private vehicles can pass without charges under the Deh Cho Bridge Act.
The bridge earned the Gustav Lindenthal Medal in 2013 for its engineering excellence and required temporary bridges on both riverbanks during construction.
