The Elbow River Traverse is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge spanning the Elbow River, just upstream from its confluence with the Bow River. Opened by the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, it connects the East Village to Inglewood, creating a seamless link between two neighborhoods. The bridge’s sleek, minimalist design offers wide views of both rivers and the downtown skyline — a perfect spot to pause and take in Calgary’s riverfront landscape.
