Teave
Kiired faktid: Põhja-Saskatchewani jõest 48 meetri kõrgusel asuv sild on maailma pikim ja kõrgeim omalaadne sild. Selle kaks tekki vedasid kunagi ülal tramme, samal ajal kui rongid ja sõidukid liikusid alt, mis oli 1913. aasta inseneritöö ime.
Esiletõstmised: Igal aastal alates 1994. aasta 31. oktoobrist muutub silla ülemine tekk heategevuslikuks benji-hüppe platvormiks nimega "The Drop", kus üle 200 hüppaja kihutab jõe poole, et koguda raha kohalikele mittetulundusühingutele. Originaalsed trammirööpad jooksevad endiselt mööda ülemist tekki, olles nähtavad läbi puitlaudade, kui üle kõndida.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Park on the south side (Strathcona) end for an easier walk and better views of the downtown skyline ahead.
- The lower deck train tracks are active, so time your walk to catch a freight train rumbling by overhead.
- Bring a camera with a wide lens, the bridge's truss framework makes for dramatic silhouette shots at sunset.
- Skip the middle of a hot summer day, the steel deck gets scorching and there is no shade.
