This new bridge is made of aluminum, resting on a central pillar in the center of the river and is equipped with a hi-tech lighting system in the structure, illuminating it at night. It’s a great addition to a stroll through Alma, as you see the river rushing by below. There is a park beside the games for children, complete with water jets, public toilets, and free parking nearby: a beautiful Promenade and a cycle path running along the river on either side of the bridge.
Through October, they keep the bridge illuminated pink to raise awareness for breast cancer. In pairing, the local hospital nearby is also illuminated during October with green, the colour of hope. The bridge was renewed as an all-aluminum structure for the 150th anniversary of Alma.
