Calgary's other new forthcoming pedestrian bridge. The St. Patrick's Island Bridge:











All from here.

The landing in the middle is the namesake St. Patrick's Island.

This design was chosen in a design competition that had 33 entries, 3 were shortlisted. The renderings above are preliminary, and there will be a more detailed design forthcoming. Construciton will tentatively start in spring 2011.

Construction began a couple months ago, and it will be completed by fall 2010.
