This former railway bridge over the Cypress Creek, near the village of Clearwater in the Municipality of Louise, was once part of the Napinka Subdivision of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Built in 1980 to replace an earlier bridge from 1885, it was abandoned after the line was closed in 2008 and has been converted into a public walking trail.
