Garrison Crossing Bridge Links Two Toronto Neighbourhoods

Ok, bridges go up all the time. Probably not as much as they should as far as infrastructure development goes, but it’s not a rare occurrence like a shooting star or a UFO crash – it’s a bridge.

In this case it’s a pedestrian bridge no less! The Garrison Crossing Bridge(s) are actually interesting because of the way they are built. Unlike a standard build that can be accomplished primarily on-site using steel and a weld crew – the bridges designed and built for the new city crossing are made from stainless steel, giving them a significantly longer shelf-life than a steel bridge. Stainless steel also can’t be assembled on-site on a build like this as it’s touchy with the environment in which it sets, which is why the bridges where lifted in this way.
