Highway 133X is the access route for Morley off the Trans Canada Highway, to the south, and Highway 1A, the Bow Valley Trail, to the north. About 250 feet in length, this through truss bridge is one of several which cross The Bow between Calgary and Canmore. It, or at least a bridge of some sort, has been at this location for at least a century. Didn't find a date plate or plaque on the bridge, though we looked for one.
A pretty well built bridge, this one appears to have come through the
2013 flood, the worst in Alberta's history, without any noticeable damage.
