The St. Albert Trestle Bridge, constructed in 1907, is a prominent timber structure spanning the Sturgeon River in St. Albert, Alberta. This 307-foot-long, single-track, open-deck pile trestle is characteristic of early 20th-century prairie railway designs.
Initially built to replace a previous bridge that was washed away, it continues to function as a train bridge today, serving as a picturesque backdrop for photographers and filmmakers.
The bridge is not only a functional piece of infrastructure but also a significant historical landmark in the area. Its enduring presence over the Sturgeon River has made it a subject of local folklore, with some accounts suggesting it is haunted.
This combination of historical importance and cultural intrigue contributes to its status as an iconic feature of St. Albert.
