Friends strolling across the Tawatina Light Rail Transit (LRT) Bridge over the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton
The Tawatinâ Bridge is an extradosed (an extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a prestressed box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge) LRT bridge crossing the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. Below the concrete box girder spans is a suspended eight-metre-wide shared-use path, which was opened to the public on December 12, 2021. It is part of Edmonton Transit Service's Valley Line extension, which opened on November 4, 2023. The Tawatinâ Bridge consists of two railway tracks (one northbound towards Downtown Edmonton, one southbound towards Mill Woods).
Tawatinâ means "valley" in Cree. The bridge features about 550 pieces of art by Métis artist David Garneau, Indigenous artists, and Regina artist Madhu Kumar with other non-indigenous artists. These are fixed to the underside of the box girder and visible from the multi-user pathway.
