Latta Bridge is a road bridge in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It carries Jasper Avenue over the Latta Ravine, between 90 Street and 91 Street. The original bridge, a wooden trestle, was constructed in 1911, by its namesake, David Latta, who was a businessman and an alderman in Edmonton. A second bridge was built in 1936. Due to the Great Depression, it was built using low wage earners and a lot of recycled materials, including components left over from the construction of the nearby High Level Bridge. In December 2019, a report recommended that the bridge be replaced because it had reached the end of its useful life. Construction on the new bridge started in the summer of 2022, and opened on October 29, 2023.

Commonwealth Stadium

Commonwealth Stadium is an open-air, multipurpose stadium located in the McCauley neighbourhood of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It has a seating capacity of 56,302, making it the largest open-air stadium in Canada. Primarily used for Canadian football, it also hosts athletics, soccer, rugby union and concerts. Construction commenced in 1975 and the venue opened ahead of the 1978 Commonwealth Games (hence its name), replacing the adjacent Clarke Stadium as the home of the Edmonton Eskimos (the Elks' name until 2020). It received a major expansion ahead of the 1983 Summer Universiade, when it reached a capacity of 60,081. Its main tenants are the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League (CFL), and has hosted five Grey Cups, the CFL's championship game. The stadium had remained the only CFL venue with natural grass for a long time, until FieldTurf Duraspine Pro was installed in 2010. Soccer tournaments include nine FIFA World Cup qualification matches with Canada Men's National Soccer Team, two versions of the invitational Canada Cup, the 1996 CONCACAF Men's Pre-Olympic Tournament, the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship and the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. FC Edmonton played its Canadian Championship matches at Commonwealth Stadium from 2011 to 2013. Other events at the stadium include the 2001 World Championships in Athletics, the 2006 Women's Rugby World Cup and three editions of the Churchill Cup.
