Completed in 1900, this was the first bridge across the North Saskatchewan River.[1] A railway track was added in 1902 to accommodate the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacific Railway (amalgamated with the Canadian Northern Railway in 1905).[1] Streetcars used the bridge (on a gauntlet track) from 1908 to 1939.[2] Trolley buses used the bridge from the removal of the streetcar track in 1939 until 1965.[2]Originally known simply as the Edmonton Bridge or the Inter-Urban Bridge (connecting the towns of Strathcona and Edmonton), the bridge became known as the Low Level Bridge some time after the completion of the High Level Bridge. In 1948 a twin span was added upstream of the original span, and northbound traffic was put onto the old bridge and southbound put onto the new. The railway track was removed from the original span in 1954.[3] The Low Level Bridge connects the communities of Cloverdale on the south end to Rossdale/Downtown on the north end. {{clear|right}}References1. ^Lane, Dennis.
