This 5.6 km primary trail starts at Ellerslie Road in Edmonton, then continues to the Anthony Henday Drive on the south side of the river. Here, trail users can cross the river on the existing pedestrian bridge or continue on the existing trails.

This 2.6 km primary trail runs from the Anthony Henday Drive bridge on the north side of the river to the E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant, where a pedestrian bridge will cross the river into Terwillegar Park.

This pedestrian bridge is a vital river crossing and will enable a trail loop. This project will link Terwillegar Park with the E.L. Smith Water Treatment Plant and will connect neighbourhoods in west Edmonton to the river valley trails.

This 1.7 km secondary trail will connect the existing trail systems in Strathcona County and Edmonton. This project is critical for regional connectivity.

This pedestrian bridge is strategically located at the convergence of a number of trails. The bridge will link Edmonton and Strathcona County and will provide access to future regional park projects. For more information visit the City of Edmonton's Website

The third online public engagement event for the Edmonton-Strathcona Footbridge project will be held on Thursday, March 24, 2022 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to share the preliminary design for the proposed footbridge and open spaces on each side of the North Saskatchewan River. Potential impacts to local trails during construction will also be presented. Please register for the presentation at edmonton.ca/EdmontonStrathconaFootbridge. The recording of the presentation will be available on the web page after March 24.

Following the online presentation, you can complete an online survey to provide feedback on the preliminary design. The survey will be open from March 24 to April 8, 2022 at edmonton.ca/EdmontonStrathconaFootbridge following the online presentation.

This project includes three boat launches, two docks, and one hand launch. The boat and hand launches will provide safe and efficient access to the river. Boat launches will be designed for vehicle circulation with a ramp into the river, parking, comfort stations, and waste receptacles. The docks will provide safe moorage for boats and safe access to the river.

This water front promenade will enhance water access and provide a unique public space in downtown Edmonton. This project will be a signature component of the RVA’s vision for a regional river valley park.
