Banff RCMP say vandals have caused about $30,000 in damage to an award-winning pedestrian bridge.
The foot bridge, which opened in July 2013, crosses over the Bow River, connecting Muskrat Street to Glen Avenue. In 2014, the structure won a prestigious award from the Institution of Structural Engineers based in London, England.
