Gabriel's Bridge


The bridge crosses the South Saskatchewan River near Fish Creek, Saskatchewan.  It was named after Gabriel Dumont who operated a ferry at this location from the early 1870's to the early 1880's.

    So cool that it's named for Dumont! I didn't know that.

      A ferry ran, under his name, until 1968 when the bridge was installed.

    A stunning bridge and I'm sure he would be pleased to know it was named in his honour.
