Building Bridges

Lots of folks are taking walks in the river valley these days, but do you know how the High-Level Bridge you're walking under and around was constructed? Do you know how the cement piers were poured in the middle of the river?

Our Museum Educator introduces an activity that you can do at home to build a bridge with common items many of us have in our homes and presents the history of the bridge's construction.

Thanks to Tourism Lethbridge for the use of their fantastic sunset panorama pictures of the Oldman River valley and the High-Level Bridge.

The Galt is grateful to the subject-matter experts delivering online content. As local professionals and knowledge experts, these presenters add valuable contributions to the local discourse; however, their ideas are their own. The people featured in the videos and those behind the scenes followed best practices to protect their health and safety.
