| Location | |
The Battlefords Bridge is a twin-span, four lane concrete and steel girder highway bridge that carries the Trans-Canada Yellowhead Highway across the North Saskatchewan River in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The bridge connects the town of Battleford on the south shore and the city of North Battleford on the north shore. With the completion of the second span in 2002, the original downstream bridge across the river that connected the two communities was closed to through highway traffic.
Three highways, 16, 4, and 40, run concurrently across the bridge.
