Regional Trail Strathcona County

Parking and accessing the footbridge

The Amisk Wâciw Âsokan (Beaver Hills Bridge) over the North Saskatchewan River – connecting Strathcona County (Twp. Rd. 540) with the City of Edmonton (167 Ave.) – is open. Multiple construction projects are underway along Twp. Rd. 540, between the footbridge and Rge. Rd. 232. 

  • Limited parking is available at the intersection of Twp. Rd. 540 and Rge. Rd. 232.
  • No parking is available west of Rge. Rd. 232 as the existing parking lot is under construction and on-road parking is not allowed.
  • These projects may result in the transport of large equipment, temporary road closures and delays.
  • Pedestrians and cyclists should use caution when traveling through this area and obey all traffic safety signs and closures.

Strathcona County is proud to be part of the regional trail system along the North Saskatchewan River. The Strathcona County Regional Trails (435.7 KB)  portion is 22 kilometres long, and connects the Strathcona Provincial Science Park to Fort Saskatchewan.
