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 bridge is currently slated for replacement, with 2013 estimated as a start time, depending upon funding.[2][3]
