St. Patrick's Bridge Design CLOSE

CMLC is pleased to annouce the winning bridge design by RFR of France and Halsall of Calgary, for St. Patrick's Island.

RFR/Halsall's winning design remind the public of a stone skipping across the river or an arch of clouds in the Calgary sky. The goal of the design was to have as little structure as possible in the river channel, to respect the context of the island and to provide a pedestrain and cyclists link from East Village to the north side of the river.

This key connection makes a conveinent and enjoyable gateway onto St. Patrick's Island, into East Village and on to downtown for Bridgeland residents.

The winning bridge design is the result of a an international design competition that attracted 33 unique submissions. The public commented on the designs and an advisory committee struck by CMLC made the final choice on March 16th, 2010.
