Walterdale Bridge

What’s New

May 2013 - Construction Update

In-river berm construction was completed in March 2013. Construction is anticipated to begin in June, with the road closure of Queen Elizabeth Park Road starting June 1.

Drivers can detour using 99 Street or 109 Street to Walterdale Hill Road. The Walterdale Bridge will remain open to traffic during construction.

About the Project

The Walterdale Bridge has served Edmonton for a century and is reaching the end of its service life. A new bridge will replace the old bridge, spanning the North Saskatchewan River to connect the intersection of Queen Elizabeth Park Road and Walterdale Hill on the river's south side to the River Valley Road/Rossdale Road/105 Street intersection on the north side.

Pedestrian/Cyclist Detours

January 7, 2013 - The area around the existing Walterdale Bridge will be affected by construction activities for the new bridge, including trail closures and detours. Portions of Queen Elizabeth Park, Kinsmen Park and the area around the EPCOR generating station will be affected. To ensure public safety, please stay away from the closed areas during construction.
