A bridge with a whole lot of Hart

Brett, the hitman Hart, opening a new bridge named after his father, Stu. It's a special day for all of us. A tribute to a wrestling pioneer in Canada. Stu Hart, born in Saskatchewan, moved to Edmonton and then settled in Calgary. He created Stampede Wrestling, a popular Saturday TV show that ran for 30 years. He and his wife had 12 kids. Many of them also jumped into the ring, continuing the family's wrestling legacy. The two bridges are on Highway 8, just outside the city's western boundary. They cross over the Elbow River, part of a $28 million highway twinning project. It's about honouring a Calgary legend. Naming this bridge after Stu Hart recognizes the incredible legacy he and his family built right here in Calgary. An honour for Hart who died in 2003 at the age of 88. I find it very fitting that it's a bridge named after my dad because he was so strong and resilient and I know my dad and my mom would be very proud. You know they gave a lot to the community and you know Calgary was always home for all of us Harts. For all of us, it just means, it's just a big giant pat on the back for everything. A legacy that will roll on. Brian Labbe, CBC News, Calgary.
