New Bridges in the Port Lands

[@DENMAR411]

The bridges are beautiful and iconic, great job! We do have to get you some better royalty free tracks though!

[@ShotBySolo]

I love when I can just SCOOSH things into place!

[@MKPiatkowski]

The time lapse was very cool. So exciting! We keep getting closer to completion.

[@iancanuckistan2244]

Aside from the transit bridge, I've cycled across all of them numerous times last summer and fall. The design is definitely eye catching.

[@BrianTao]

You must be a construction worker then, since the new bridges only opened a few days ago...

[@iancanuckistan2244]

@@BrianTao Nope, I worked as a construction worker in the 80's as a summer job. I should have said I cycled across all of the open bridges which is either three or four.

[@iancanuckistan2244]

@@BrianTao I should have said "all of the open bridges" and I had summer jobs in construction while in university in the '80's.

Absolutely love these videos! Thanks for keeping us informed. Clearly prepared and delivered with care.

[@Toronto_James]

looking forward to heading over to check them out later on today :)

[@unowen-nh9ov]

It's a good time to visit, the rest of the construction hasn't started so if you walk south you can see all of them @ once, quite impressive.

[@bachirsaghir9162]

Congratulations on the opening of the new bridges.

[@Meyers1793]

I didn't realize the bridges were assembled and shipped from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It must have been quite a sight to see them motor up the St Lawrence River and through the locks. I can't wait to visit them and the new river mouth this summer.

HYPPEE Love to see the initial sketches and how it all came together!!

[@Michael-z7y8b]

Yippee perhaps?

[@TayGuy]

Excited to ride the new Cherry Street.

[@lukechandler5668]

What about the keating channel pub

[@BrianTao]

They're not being displaced.

[@lukechandler5668]

Thanks @Briantao

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Still open.

[@BrimHawk]

Scooch! Just a scoche.

[@waintawp]

Will Cherry Street have another bridge to replace that one a few meters away?

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Think these are all the new ones, the existing southernmost to Cherry Beach where the grocery used to be still exists.

[@waintawp]

@@unowen-nh9ov and was closed for most of summer due to an issue. Seems it’s ran its course but I’ve not seen any mention of it being replaced.

[@djsmithe]

Those bridges are definitely not my style. White with a bright colour inside?

[@phoebe_cincotta]

Girl get a new mic

[@LaggyArms]

only a matter of time until the street takeovers happen on this bridge.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

?

[@georgevukelich607]

A great way to burn through tax payers money.

[@CzedYman]

A river diversion was needed in order to prevent flooding that occurred due to the unnatural 90 degree bend of the Keating Channel/Don river mouth, hence the creation of the new island. Bridges are needed to cross rivers (obviously) so this isn't some useless vanity project.

[@georgevukelich607]

@@CzedYman , is that how they're spinning it? Let it flood, they shouldn't have developed in that area, its a natural floodplain, mounts of rivers are estuaries and shouldn't be tampered with, especially those Canadians, they're clueless over there. My cousin lives in Canada and they just work to pay taxes over there... it's pretty much totalitarian now in Canada from my understanding, in a way.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

They're building an entire new downtown & reviving defunct industrial wasteland, new communities actually INCREASE tax revenues, duh!
