Hey guys, I needed to get out this morning and clear my head so I thought I would go and check out the new Walterdale bridge. It has been a very rough month due to my father being in the hospital with Cancer, pneumonia, alzheimer's etc., sad to see and go through. He is basically on his last weeks, and has been very taxing on myself, my brother and mom.
The original bridge opened in 1913, until decommisioned, and the new bridge opened September 18 of 2017. The original bridge was named after John Walter, an original Edmonton Pioneer and progressive businessman, which contibuted so much to our city. The new bridge has definately become a city visual highlight. It finished with a budget of $155 million, and 2 years behind schedule with over $10 million in late fines to the contractor Acciona-Pacer Joint Venture.
Here are some pictures of the bridge, enjoy!
