Feasibility
A feasibility study was completed in January 2020 to better understand the feasibility of constructing a bridge in this area and better define the project scope, costs and construction timelines. The study considered the City of Edmonton, Strathcona County and RVA plans and policies as well as technical constraints and requirements such as geotechnical (soils and slopes), environmental (water and land) and hydrotechnical (river flow) information, regulatory requirements, land uses and existing utilities.
The feasibility study recommended a general location for the footbridge and trail connections; connecting 167 Avenue (on the west/Edmonton side of the river) to Township Road 540 (on the east/Strathcona County side of the river).
