Description:
This historically significant bridge across the North Saskatchewan River was constructed in 1913, and was intended to carry foot, auto and rail traffic. Today, it's still completely functional, and vintage streetcars travel from downtown Edmonton over the top deck of the bridge to Old Strathcona. The bridge is also the site of the Great Divide Waterfall, a 1980 addition installed by artist Peter Lewis that sends 11,000 gallons of water through a series of nozzles to create an impressive cascade that's higher than Niagara Falls. The waterfall operates on summer weekends and some holidays.
