Tawatinâ Bridge
The Tawatinâ Bridge ( də-WAH-tin-now) is an extradosed LRT bridge crossing the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. Below the concrete box girder spans is a suspended eight-meter wide shared-use path, which was opened to the public on December 12, 2021. It will be part of Edmonton Transit Service's Valley Line extension, which is scheduled to open in 2022 (tentative). 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 400 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.
