The Tawatinâ Bridge [3] is an extradosed 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.[4] It is part of Edmonton Transit Service's Valley Line extension, which opened on November 4, 2023.[5] [6] The Tawatinâ Bridge consists of two railway tracks (one northbound towards Downtown Edmonton, one southbound towards Mill Woods).
Cree: Tawatinâ means "valley" in Cree.[7] 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.[8] These are fixed to the underside of the box girder and visible from the multi-user pathway.
