@Das Ponto Not that I've ever seen. IG is a very walled garden.

Final piece of old Walterdale Bridge coming down

Crews work to remove the centre truss of the old Walterdale Bridge Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2017.

Work to tear down the old Walterdale Bridge is moving along according to schedule as crews began work to dismantle the centre truss this week.

The north and south trusses of the 104-year-old bridge have already been removed and dismantled. Now, work is underway on the centre truss, which will be taken down in two stages.

A crane will be used to move the centre piece of the historic bridge to where the south truss once sat, before it is moved onto the south shore of the river to be taken apart.

The City of Edmonton said all of the steel from the old bridge should be down in the next couple of days. Work will then begin to remove the concrete supports from the river.

Centre span has been moved. Clear view now between the High Level and Walterdale bridges. Will have to get a shot from that direction next.

New year, new bridge? Demo of old Walterdale Bridge to wrap up this month

Work continues to demolish the old Walterdale Bridge across Edmonton's river valley. Monday, Dec. 4, 2017.

Final work to remove Edmonton’s old Walterdale Bridge and all its trimmings is set to be completed by the end of the year, the city says.

Work on the berms was being done on Monday as crews wrap up the last few tasks connected to the old bridge.

A spokesperson for the city said demo work is going well.

“We still have to remove some items from the south abutment and then remove the berms,” Holly Budd said. “We expect this work to be completed by the end of the year.

“Pieces of the old bridge have been salvaged and are being stored at a city facility,” she said.

New Walterdale Bridge is grand, but lights are not activated ... yet
Work crews are nearly finished installing the new Walterdale Bridge lights, a display promised to be just as dynamic but more subtle and artistic than those of the High Level Bridge.

Recessed LED lights have been installed throughout the arches of Edmonton’s new signature bridge, and are now going onto the shared-use path handrails, benches and bollards, said city project manager Ryan Teplitsky.

“It is going to get turned on soon, but we’ll keep you in suspense a little while longer as to the exact date,” he said.

Workers plan to start testing the lights this week and will announce an opening date for the shared-use path and a lighting-up ceremony next week, he said. They will be coloured, programmable LED lights. “It will be quite the sight when it’s all done.”

Saw some photos of it lit up the other day already.

Yeah, I heard the lights are on and the MUP are now open. Will swing by as soon as I can to get some shots.
