  • Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation

    Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation

    Walterdale Bridge Replacement Concept Planning Study and Approach Roads Evaluation Final Report April 2011 4.0 BRIDGE CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT 4.1 INTRODUCTION The new Walterdale Bridge will replace the existing three-span structural steel truss bridge that was constructed in 1912 to 1913 to carry two lanes of roadway traffic and a street railway across the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta. The existing bridge currently carries two lanes of northbound traffic, along with pedestrians and bicyclists on sidewalks on both sides, and a number of utilities across the river. The terms of reference for the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation" indicate that the existing structure should be replaced with a functional signature bridge that will form an attractive entrance to downtown Edmonton. The replacement is to have an innovative urban design complementing the "West Rossdale Urban Design Plan", and respecting the aboriginal burial grounds on the north bank of the river. In Phase 1 of the "Walterdale Bridge Replacement and Approach Roads Evaluation", we compared signature extradosed, arch and cable-stayed bridge replacement alternatives to a more conventional girder bridge alternative. We developed the conceptual bridge designs for the Base Road Option. The geometry and appearance of the structure will be similar for the East and West Side Road Options. We assumed that the replacement bridge will carry three lanes of northbound traffic and possibly one lane of southbound traffic, in addition to pedestrians, bicyclists and utilities across the river. As the study progressed in Phase 2, a through-arch bridge was selected as the preferred alternative.

    BMN Hike: Grouse Mountain Via Mackay Creek

    BMN HIKE REPORT Grouse Mountain via Mackay Creek (May 16, 2015) by Mark Johnston On the Mackay Creek Trail. Chloe Tu photo. At the start of the May long weekend, five us of gathered for a return trip to the North Shore mountains, this time a hike up much visited Grouse Mountain but by a route that sees relatively little traffic. Our leaders, Rich and Janet, were familiar with the trail; for the rest of us it would be a new path. It was a cloudy day and as the ceiling was fairly low, we wondered whether, higher up the mountain, we would have any views. Our plan was to hike the Mackay Creek Trail to Simic’s Trail and then proceed along the Cut ski run until we reached “The Peak of Vancouver.” Parking at the base of the Skyride, we headed east along the power line right-of-way toward Mackay Creek. As we walked, we took notice of dame’s rocket and buttercup in bloom and enjoyed occasional views of Greater Vancouver. As it would turn out, these would be our only distant views until our descent via the aerial tramway three hours later. Just past the bridge over West Mackay Creek, we left the power line, climbed up the gravelly bank and entered the forest. Initially we stayed quite close to the rocky creek bed, but soon our trail veered east, away from the creek, and after awhile we came within earshot of the East Mackay tributary. Never approaching as closely to this branch, we stayed high on the ridge between tributaries and gained elevation steadily with a minimum of switchbacks.
