Newest old bridge in the downtown river valley. There was an old Walter Dale bridge that was about 100 years old so the City of Edmonton finally got a new bridge built in much the same spot and kept the same name. It’s a beautiful dynamic bridge that is already iconic. The sweeping lines of the bridge are pleasing to the eyes and its simple design is just right for the river valley. June 20, 2020 returned to the bridge to enjoy the sites. The last time I was here the large open walkway was not open yet on the east side, now that it is open it is awesome. The pedestrian bridge is amazing. This is an amazing bridge that is accessible for all and has many trails leading to it. I recommend coming here and enjoying the sights.

  • Wes Inaba

Such a stunning piece of infrastructure architecture. The northbound bridge on the Walterdale Bridge is a blessing. The ever troubling interaction of Walterdale Hill and Queen Elizabeth Park Road has always been a nightmare. But the new bridge with the four wide lanes of traffic has alleviated so many backed up nights waiting to head north to 105 Street. Also space for pedestrian traffic is extremely generous on both sides of the bridge.

  • Tolu Balogun

Can't get enough of viewing this bridge. Totally a construction wonder. It's an Edmonton city identity. Driving on the bridge make you realize the huge size of the bridge. There are also parks around the area. Specifically, the park on the hill is the best place to get a good view of the bridge. This bridge is a must see when visiting Edmonton. Night view is alo amazing. Note that traffic travels only in one direction on this bridge.

  • Andrew Bolton

Cool spot for a walk when your visiting the downtown area. The cool breeze from the river keeps the hot temperatures down. While the exposure makes the sunshine enjoyable. There isn’t a lot on either side of the bridge. But over all it’s a cool spot for anyone to visit for a walk. It’s also connected to lots of walking paths along the river valley so you can enjoy a whole day walking. Definitely worth a visit!!

  • Alexander Philipp

How in the world are we allowed to review a bridge? Like “did you make it across the river?” Yes..... “Okay 5 stars it is.” It’s a bridge here, at the end of the day it has one job, make A to B accessible. If you have seen this bridge though, it is quite spectacular. For this reason, despite it being a particularly easy review, I shall add a photo of the famed bridge.

  • Patrick Marriott

The bridge design is great. Google has ignored several attempts by me to correct their name for it. There was nobody named Walter Dale connected with it. It is named for Walterdale, a community at its south end named after John Walter, who lived there and ran several businesses there, including the ferry service before there were bridges.

  • Rahul Kumar

One of the attractions in Edmonton. They have added lighting for tourists, so visit after dark. Lighting ensures you have great pictures for social media. Parking is a challenge. Will have to park a few blocks away and walk. Bridge itself is not very long. There was a lot of Police presence. Not sure if that happens everyday.

  • Mahdi “Maudy McFly” Miganeh

Worked on this bridge as an Electrician it's last 2 months. A must visit! Bike path has railing lights and all along the bridge and bottom of the bridge there'll be lights when bike riding. Great addition to Edmonton's nightlife and as a whole!! To be up on the 21st of December 2017 #lightupedmonton ❤️ …

  • Gillian Joseph

Beautiful walkway and the views from the bridge are amazing, especially during sunset hours. The landscaping along the path is really nice and plenty of benches to sit at to chill and watch the sun set. Plenty of space for both pedestrians and bikes to share the path. One of my new favorite places to walk in the city.

  • Amandeep Kalsi

As a new individual living in Edmonton without many friends is a challenge but there are beautiful places that feel like home. Walterdale gives you an insight into the beauty Alberta has to offer. Just alongside the river, you will find well-preserved first few homes built in Edmonton. A peaceful weekend activity.

  • Guillermo Arroyo

This place was amazing, although is crowed you have opportunity to enjoy it. The view is amazing, if you are lucky you can have an amazing sunset, as well as ridding scooters, take a walk and enjoy time with friends and family. It was my first time and it was beautiful, my family and I spent an amazing day.

  • Kenneth Andres

Although its completion was severely delayed, I think that the wait is worth it. The new Walterdale bridge's design looks very modern and futuristic. Its arches is definitely a departure from the old steel bridge design that is common among the bridges that crisscross the North Saskatchewan River.

  • Lis Marie

Such a beautiful area! The renovations they did and completely re-doing the bridge are well worth it! The pathway to cross the bridge is stunning and it’s so fun to explore the bridge from all angles! There’s a nice paved path that takes you completely under the bridge, it’s stunning!

  • Anup Singh

Wonderful place, walk friendly, lot of nature walks around, walk over the bridge and alongside the river as well. Close to Alberta Parliament. Lit during night. There is a viewpoint on the other side of bridge (opposite viewpoint) to see the colors of Edmonton Downtown. Must see!

  • Daniel Blais

I miss the Old Walterdale Bridge. I never got to take a picture of it and regret it now. Also the awesome sounds it made as you drove over it. The New Walterdale Bridge is a work of art. It is a beautiful addition to the downtown rejuvenation and is a huge tourist attraction.

  • Amarjot Singh

Hard to find parking near the bridge either you have to cross or you have to park before. You should know the place before going. Great views of downtown in the morning or evening. Have a professional camera with you instead normal one.

  • Major Singh

One of the only places in Edmonton where you feel lively during summer. A lot of greenery around to admire. Sitting on the hill and admiring the North Saskatchewan River, the bridge and Edmonton downtown is my favorite thing to do.

  • Logan- Wilson

Just a beautiful place to be around. There is so much going around the bridge. Looks beautiful at night. The place is clean and unique infrastructure. In summers its a wonderful place to go picnic or go walking around the river.

I am a photographer in Edmonton and I love using this bridge for photos! It is usually not very busy and provides a very interesting backdrop. From here you have nice views of downtown as well as the North Saskatchewan River.

  • Gavin Cheng

I admire the bridge everytime I drive on it. I love taking my kids to the River Valley and we have to cross this bridge every time! It is nice that the city spent some extra money to make it recreational for Edmontonians.

  • Liam Cusack

Iconic bridge on the south side of Edmonton. Great access to the river valley and a huge network of trails. Large parking lot at the Kinsmen rec center. This bridge has stunning views of both downtown and the river.

  • Graham Gilmour

The new bridge is fantastic as far as bridges go. Super useful pedestrian/bike pathway separate from traffic. Nice views of the river. River Valley pathways in the area are still under construction.

  • Lloyd Spencer

Miss the old bridge for only the humming sound it made as you drove across it. The new bridge is so much better. It is nice to have a mini beach area and boat launch under the south side as well.

  • Nolan Kwasney

Doesn't vibrate my car or make strange loud noises at all. Also, the bridge is very ugly because it is not a beautiful aged, faded green or made entirely of concrete. Two thumbs down.

  • Caitlyn Elliott

A striking piece of infastructure in Edmontons river valley. Fun to drive under with the sunroof open at night! You'll find lots of photos taken of this bridge by local photographers.
