Description du lieu patrimonial
Eagle Creek Cement Bridge is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Rural Municipality of Harris. The structure is a reinforced concrete, double-span bowstring bridge that was constructed in 1925.
Valeur patrimoniale
Constructed as part of the Saskatchewan Department of Highways' comprehensive road-building plan, Eagle Creek Cement Bridge is a good example of the nearly 90 reinforced concrete bowstring bridges that were constructed in southern Saskatchewan in the 1920s and 1930s. Constructed in 1925 at a cost of $3000, the bridge was designed by prominent Regina general contractor John Kenward. Measuring 18 metres in length with a five metre width roadway, this type of bridge was typically used at low-bank crossings, such as prairie streams. Its reinforced concrete bowstring arches blend its functional, engineering technology with an aesthetically pleasing design. The last remaining cement bridge in the municipality, the Eagle Creek Cement Bridge is a landmark in the area and was used until the early 1980s when a new bridge was built nearby.
