Planning and design is underway for the replacement of the historic trestle bridge located within Mill Creek Ravine along 76 Avenue.
Project Overview
The bridge was originally constructed in 1902. The Mill Creek Trestle Bridge structure was part of an early rail connection between the towns of Strathcona and Edmonton and remains a valuable part of the Edmonton River Valley trail system.
The existing bridge has reached the end of its service life, and replacement of the bridge is being planned.
In addition to the bridge replacement, the project will explore upgrades to the culvert (the structure that holds and directs the water) under 76 Avenue, and address soil erosion issues near the existing bridge.
