This is a historic Warren deck truss bridge over the Bow River near the former town of Ronalane in Cypress County, Alberta. The old bridge was built for the Southern Alberta Land Company as part of a large irrigation project. The bridge was designed to support a siphon carrying water as well as a highway. It was damaged and rebuilt in the 1950s. The irrigation project began in 1912, but was never completed and abandoned in 1914. The trusses are composed of rolled members, which suggests the trusses date to the 1950s rebuild. As for the canal, to the west of this bridge the canal that would have led to this bridge still is used and has water in it. East of the bridge it is clear a canal was dug, but as it is unused it is dry.
