12 Street S.E. Bridge Removal : On May 29, 2017 we removed the 109 year-old 12 Street S.E. Bridge (Zoo Bridge). After the bridge was removed, it was placed on the south side of St. George's Island and carefully dismantled. The project team will salvage portions of the old bridge for later use in public spaces. The 12 Street S.E. Bridge spans the Bow River on the south side of St. George’s Island and is in need of replacement due to its age and deteriorated physical condition. The bridge, constructed in 1908, was originally designed to carry horse and buggy, as well as pedestrian traffic to St. George’s Island. Now it is an important link for vehicles and people on foot or bikes, which provides access to and from 9 Avenue S.E. to Memorial Drive and points south. A new bridge will ensure this important link is maintained for the next 100 years. --- Visit The City of Calgary's website: http://www.calgary.ca Subscribe to The City of Calgary's YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/1lg0ACm The City of Calgary -- working together to create and sustain a vibrant, healthy, safe and caring community.
