Travelers heading eastbound will have open lanes on the new Stu Hart Memorial Bridge today, now matching westbound traffic that has been using the bridge since 2021, as part of Calgary’s ring road project in the southwest.
The bridge itself is named after Stu Hart, who started Stampede Wrestling back in 1948, which helped the careers of famous wrestlers like Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart, to name a few.
Construction on the eastbound section began last year. Bret Hart and members of his family were in attendance for the opening Tuesday morning, as well as Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen. Both bridges were part of Highway 8’s twinning project, between the west Calgary ring road and Lott Creek Boulevard.
