An aging bridge in Toronto 's Port Lands that locals use to get to the waterfront by foot, car or bike has been jammed and put out of commission for days now, and apparently won't be fixed for a few more as crews complete emergency repairs.
PortsToronto notified residents on April 24 that the 1930-built lift bridge — which rises to let ships pass on the channel beneath it — had suddenly become jammed in its upright position, necessitating the closure of Cherry Street south of Polson Street.that the viaduct was undergoing service and was expected to be fixed a few days later, it seems that the issues have persisted.
"This mechanism is an original, 92-year-old part of the bridge and is scheduled to be replaced and/or rehabilitated as part of the final stage of an ongoing project led by PortsToronto and the City of Toronto, which has been underway since March 2022," PortsToronto continued in
