Groat Bridge spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is a part of Groat Road. The bridge is composed of two spans that are side by side.[1] The original structure was rehabilitated in 1990 and again in 2020.[2] The 2020 $48 million rehabilitation saw the decks of both spans replaced one side at a time, with the new decks placed on the existing piers.[3] The new decks feature an expanded shared-use path on the east side of the bridge (4.2 metres [14 ft] wide, compared to the original 2.4-metre-wide [7.9 ft] sidewalk).[3] Groat Bridge connects the communities of River Valley Mayfair on the south end to River Valley Glenora on the north end.
