The Walterdale Bridge (formerly called the 105 Street Bridge) is a bridge that spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was built by the Dominion Bridge Company, and was named after John Walter, an early settler who ran a ferry at this approximate location.[1] The former community of Walterdale at this location was also named after John Walter.[2]
The bridge is currently scheduled for replacement. Construction began in early 2013, and will continue through 2015. The old bridge is scheduled to be removed 2015 - 2016.[3]
