The Low Level Bridge is a bridge that spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Completed in 1900, this was Edmonton's first bridge across the North Saskatchewan River. A railroad track was added in 1902[1] to accommodate the Canadian Northern Railway. After the construction of the High Level Bridge in 1913, it became known as the Low Level Bridge. In 1948 an additional twin span was added and the railway track was subsequently removed.
