PEACE BRIDGE 5 images Created 7 Oct 2018
The Peace Bridge, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, is one of the younger landmarks of Calgary, which opened to the public in 2012.
It is a pedestrian bridge that crosses the Bow River to connect downtown Calgary (specifically Eau Claire Park) on the southern riverbanks with the Sunnyside neighborhood along the northern riverbanks. The bridge also has a dedicated bike path for cyclists to utilize.
The bridge's design is alluring to residents and visitors due to its helical steel structure and glass roofing. The colors of the bridge are red and white in observance of the colors of both the Canadian national flag and Calgary's city flag.
