The bridge unofficially opened to pedestrians and cyclists over the weekend.
The Elbow River Traverse costs $3 million, which the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation says will be paid for by tax revenues raised by the redevelopment of the East Village.
It’s anticipated it will accommodate 800 to 1,000 pedestrians and cyclists per day.
