Toronto's only suspension bridge is a tiny gem hidden away in Scarborough Toronto Scarborough
Think of suspension bridges, and the mind conjures up images of globally recognized landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge.
Constructed in 1912 and restored in 1981, the bridge carries a single alternating traffic lane over a scenic stretch of the Rouge River. A pair of cables anchored to towers support the 50-metre span, which research suggests is among the shortest towered suspension bridges in the world. A hidden treasure well-known by locals and infrastructure geeks alike, the bridge is a rarity in Toronto and the only suspension bridge carrying road traffic in the province that does not cross an international border.
