Bridge Documentation

This bridge is one of the earliest known surviving concrete rigid-frame bridges in Ontario. Ontario built an unusually enormous number of concrete rigid frame bridges from the 1930s through the 1960s. This bridge represents the beginning of this trend. The bridge is designed with aesthetics in mind the edges of the bridge have "fascia arches" that offer a deeper arch shape than the rest of the bridge, so to casual viewers this bridge looks more like a concrete arch bridge with a more defined arch shape than a rigid frame itself supplies. The bridge also retains original concrete balustrade railings and large bronze plaques.
