Stroll the Columbia River Skywalk for breathtaking views of the Columbia River.
The Columbia River Skywalk’s debt coverage is funded through the Government of Canada’s Canada Community-Building Fund.
The bridge is one of the longest suspension bridges of its kind in North America at 1,000 ft. landing to landing.
The bridge spans the Columbia River from Rotary Park in West Trail to McQuarrie Street in East Trail.
The walkway, which is also bike, stroller and wheelchair-friendly, is 12 ft. wide and is made of a composite material.
This signature structure is part of the vast Trans Canada Trail’s Great Trail network.
The Skywalk also provides the region with vital utility crossings (sewer/utility lines).
Construction of the bridge took 14 months and the total cost of the project was $15.5 million, the City of Trail’s largest capital project to date.
The City of Trail, in conjunction with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, the City of Rossland the Village of Warfield, worked together to bring the Skywalk to our communities.
The bridge officially opened on December 15, 2016.
