Toronto’s Port Lands are gradually being transformed from a post-industrial watseland into a new mixed-use community with plenty of greenspace… and great new bridges. In this east-facing image down Commissioners Street by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ADRM, the longest of those bridges is unattached to open roads for the moment, and will remain that way for some time, looking out-of-place now, but promising a brighter future of the area. Once the bridge eventually opens to traffic, water will be flowing beneath it via a new, curving, naturalized mouth for the Don River, emptying out into Toronto Harbour and Lake Ontario south of the current orthogonality of the Keating Channel. Plenty more photos of ADRM’s recent trip through the construction zone can be seen by clicking on the link, above.
