John Walter & the Walterdale bridge

[YFCvii]

The only bridge we have around here ...

... has the same waters passing under as that new bridge of Ziggy's ...

Your sharing this history is appreciated
... remembering back when I was a kid, this was the bridge that my family travelled on from Edmonton in my Grandfather's Brand New 19ft Winnebago Brave.
We were on our inaugural Family Motorhome Journey to visit family in Mississauga.
If memory serves we correct, I remember the arches, a rather loud smack as my Mom pretty much jumped out of the passenger seat with a scream.
Our new driver went tight as we passed the first concrete arch ... a replacement mirror was installed at our next stop in Winnipeg.

was similar to this one

That was a very interesting story Riley. I can see the municipality's hesitation about the open air dance hall though... Too many times in our youth we've been know to say "Here! Hold my beer and watch this".... You will note I said "in our youth"..... .

Riley..
Great bridge story..
That would be a great place for a car show!
I can picture it lined up with Corvettes...
Can you get a permit for that?
