The Walterdale Bridge (formerly called the 105 Street Bridge) is a steel grating-decked bridge that spans the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was built in 1913 by the Dominion Bridge Company and was named after John Walter, an early settler who ran a ferry at this approximate location. The neighbourhood Walterdale at this location was also named after John Walter.

The bridge is scheduled for replacement. Construction began in early 2013, and was scheduled to be completed in late 2015; however, it is now delayed until mid-2017. The old bridge is scheduled to be demolished and removed after the new bridge is opened. The new bridge will feature three northbound traffic lanes and enhanced pedestrian and cyclist crossings. Roadway and trail links north and south of the river will also be enhanced.

This signature bridge will be the first of its kind in Edmonton, with two 56-metre tall arches spanning the river just east of the current bridge. The new bridge arches will be supported by thrust blocks on both river banks, eliminating permanent in-river piers.
