Beaver Hills Bridge opens to public

The new Amisk Waciw Asokan (Beaver Hills Bridge) is now open to the Public.

The 230-meter bridge connects 167 Avenue in Edmonton to Township Road 540 in Strathcona County. It’s a shared-use pathway designed for all ages and abilities. Its curved design follows the natural landscape and includes two lookout points for scenic river views and gathering areas at each end.

The name Amisk Wâciw Âsokan was gifted by Elder Dr. Jerry Saddleback. It honours the historical and cultural significance of the Beaver Hills area, a place of sacred ceremonies and trade for thousands of years.

The new bridge connects people and land while strengthening opportunities for active transportation, recreation and community connection. It enhances connectivity between municipalities and expands access to the North Saskatchewan River Valley trail system.
