A New Connection Across the River: Bridge Opening This Friday

We are thrilled to announce the official opening of the newest pedestrian bridge in the North Saskatchewan River Valley! This bridge creates a vital connection between Northeast Edmonton and Strathcona County, extending access to the Amisk Wacîw Mêskanaw and the Trans Canada Trail.

🎉 Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

📅 Friday, September 12, 2025
🕧 12:30 PM
📍 Strathcona County side of the bridge

This celebration will mark not only the opening of the bridge, but also the unveiling of its official name. Join us as community members, dignitaries, and partners gather to commemorate this important milestone in regional connectivity.

Getting There

Parking is very limited. To ensure space for dignitaries and confirmed guests, the first two parking lots on the Strathcona County side will be reserved. We encourage everyone else to carpool, cycle, or walk to the event where possible.

Why This Bridge Matters

This new bridge strengthens the continuous regional trail network, linking communities and providing new opportunities for recreation, active transportation, and connection with nature. It represents years of collaboration and investment in the vision of a fully connected 100 km trail system from Devon to Fort Saskatchewan.

We invite everyone to come celebrate this exciting addition to our river valley trail system. Together, we’ll take one more step toward completing a world-class network of trails for all to enjoy.
