A defining landmark of Edmonton, the High Level Bridge spans the North Saskatchewan River, connecting downtown with Old Strathcona. Completed in 1913, this historic steel-truss bridge was originally designed for trains, streetcars, vehicles, and pedestrians, making it one of the most versatile crossings of its time. Today, it remains a vital link, offering stunning river valley views for walkers and cyclists. At night, the bridge comes to life with colorful LED lights, creating a striking visual display that celebrates city events and holidays. A symbol of Edmonton’s history and engineering, the High Level Bridge remains an iconic part of the city’s skyline.

Iconic bridge over the North Saskatchewan River from downtown to south side. It’s over 100 years old and has become even more entrenched in the minds of Edmontonians and is part of everyone’s minds eyes of the river valley. There is car traffic and a trolley that goes over the bridge where trains used to. Both sides of the bridge have pedestrian and bicycle traffic. This is just an amazing bridge and I would recommend not only driving across it but also walking and taking the trolley across.

High Level Bridge is one of Edmonton's oldest infrastructure. Built in 1913, I think that it commands an excellent view of the River Valley, especially of Downtown Edmonton and the University of Alberta campus. Both its roadway and sidewalk are narrower than the Walterdale bridge, which is made even narrower by the suicide barrier. Nevertheless, the bridge remains very functional and the walk across it is very scenic but a bit noisy due to the often heavy vehicular traffic.

One of the tourist attractions in Edmonton. City has added lighting for tourists and its color changes everyday. Good experience walking on it. Gives a good view of downtown, legislature building, Walter Dale bridge and Saskatchewan river. There are walkways on both East and West side. East side gives better view. Be careful while walking as there are a lot of bikers and scooter riders and don’t think they follow any speed rules. Finding Parking is a challenge.

This is the best place to visit at day or night. Night view hits different for those who likes night life. At day you can go near the river could click some timing shots. There are many scooters available everywhere near bridge. Safe at night. Just near the bridge, there is a public parking free. Or you can go straight to downtown and park you car there. Not much traffic at night just the pedestrian walking . Make sure you wear mask even though you’re outside.

A unique two-level bridge where the lower deck is for cars, pedestrians, and cyclists, while the upper deck is reserved for the old streetcar. The bridge offers stunning views of the Downtown skyline and the North Saskatchewan River. At night, it’s beautifully lit, creating charming light effects. However, traffic on the bridge is slow due to its age and narrow design. Riding the streetcar across is an amazing experience—thrilling and just a bit daring.
