Remember When: Big Orange Bridge

Many folks recognize the sight of BOB, the Big Orange Bridge crossing the South Saskatchewan River near Outlook. BOB was built in 1936 and closed when the new, current bridge, seen on the left side in the midst of construction, was opened on October 8, 1998. The new bridge cost $11 million at the time. BOB was then converted to a pedestrian bridge.
