If you find yourself in Drumheller, put your bravery to the test on the Star Mine Suspension Bridge đâ
â
The bridge was originally built in 1931 for miners to get to work but was shut down in 1957 when it fell into disrepair and the mines in the area closed down. This didnât last long, as the Alberta government rebuilt it just a year later to honour and commemorate the history of mining in Drumheller.â
â
Although it did close down for another four years in 2020 (and honestly, itâs good that weâre not taking any chances with bridge safety) itâs back open once more and ready for action đ€©â
â
Today, the bridge is a favourite among locals for fishing and accessing the beautiful Badlands terrain. And of course, those who visit for the bridge itself. The 117-meter walk from one side to the other is a worthwhile experience if youâre not afraid of some slight rocking.â
