Opened on March 24 2012, ‘Peace Bridge’<\/strong>\u00a0is a pedestrian bridge that accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists crossing the\u00a0Bow River\u00a0in\u00a0Calgary,\u00a0Alberta,\u00a0Canada. Designed\u00a0by Valencian\u00a0architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava, the single span helical footbridge gently arcs across the water, sheltering users\u00a0with a glass roof\u00a0along\u00a0its 126 meter length.\u00a0As such, the bridge is a departure from\u00a0Calatrava’s usual designs, which are typically asymmetric shapes anchored by high masts.\u00a0\u00a0Another atypical element is the colour, while most of Calatrava’s designs are white, the Peace Bridge features a red and white pattern (Red and white are the colours in both the\u00a0Flag of Canada\u00a0and the\u00a0Flag of Calgary).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
