Walter Dale Bridge spans the North Saskatchewan River with one way traffic heading North into Downtown YEG. The new Bridge was completed in 2017 and replaced the old Walter Dale bridge that stood from 1967-2017

High Level Bridge Spans the North Saskatchewan River with one way traffic heading South into Old Strathcona; Clearance below this bridge is 48 m or 157 ft. The Bridge is lit up with color changing LED's and is a sight to see at night. The High Level Bridge is also a Municipal Historic Resource as of 1995. Edmonton and Old Strathcona became one city 1912 and the High level was completed in 1913. In 1980 2 way traffic ended on both the Walter Dale and the High Level and they became 1 way bridges.

Rogers Place was completed in 2016 and cost around 480 million to build. Home to the Edmonton Oilers and can sit 18 500 people for a hockey game and around 20 000 for a concert venue. Rogers Place replaced Rexall Place which is now abandoned and soon to be demolished. The Neon Light Outdoor Sign Museum is located right by Rogers Place and is free to visit 365 days a year. It is a nice display of 20 restored signs from Edmonton's Past.

The Alberta Legislature Building was constructed from 1907-1913 but has had renovations done over the years. This is a beautiful building and is especially nice to visit in the summer. Many walking paths through the gardens and around the fountains makes for nice pictures and a picnic. However in the winter it is all decorated up with lights and can be a nice stop on a calm night. Hope you guys enjoy the Drive and thanks for all the Subs! Thank you to Jeff for the GoPro footage it completed the Video!
