Bridge Out!

The Lakeridge Bridge was torn out & rebuilt just to the west to accommodate a 401 exit. For some reason, instead of tearing the whole structure down, the construction crews left part of the bridge deck & concrete beams extending out over the railway tracks. Power lines were installed, & the stub was fenced off.

If you're adventurous enough, you could venture out onto the beams, although I admit I wasn't brave enough to try it. The architecture of what's left is rather interesting & indicative of the time period when the original bridge was constructed. One interesting thing I noticed..the eastbound traffic signals are a long way from the side of the new bridge, suggesting a future expansion or on-ramp. Google Maps shows both the old & new bridges, depending on the view.
