James MacDonald Bridge. The James MacDonald Bridge is a bridge that spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Construction of the bridge began in the early 1960s and was completed on October 1971. The bridge was named after city engineer James MacDonald. As built, this bridge is but a tiny little piece of a rather interesting roadway project that few are aware of these days. This span was designed to carry the 5 westbound collector lanes of the south leg of the downtown freeway loop, as conceived under the METS design study.
