It seems some Calgarians couldn’t wait to take a walk on the Peace Bridge.

While officials announced earlier this month that it could be weeks ‘ or even months ‘ before the controversial span is open for general use, Ald. Druh Farrell said she was told some trespassers have already traversed the $25-million structure.

“It was just a few people,” she said.

The incidents took place shortly after the Santiago Calatrava-creation was linked over the Bow River in November and Farrell said the developer, Graham Construction, has since been forced to bring on security to guard the bridge at night.

Representatives with Graham would neither confirm nor deny the trespassing reports despite repeated inquiries.

City of Calgary spokesperson Vickie Megrath warned that crossing the incomplete bridge is extremely dangerous given that foundational work and assessments are still being conducted.

She did, however, take a little encouragement from the trespassing, adding it appears public interest in the bridge remains high.

“I guess some people can’t wait for it to open,” Megrath joked.
