With the province’s rail plan looming, the cost to fix the old bridge for another 75 years is $1 billion — but replacing both the High Level and Low Level bridges at $1.3 billion is seen as a worthwhile investment, comparable to recent LRT projects. The real challenge? Fitting a modern, high-capacity rail crossing into a tight river valley while keeping the old bridge standing — a massive engineering puzzle. Yet, with growing demand for efficient transit, many see passenger rail as the ultimate solution for moving people across Alberta.
