Queen Street Viaduct, Steel truss bridge in Riverside, Canada

The Queen Street Viaduct spans 129 feet across the Don River with four traffic lanes and double streetcar tracks on its metal structure.

The Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company from Darlington constructed this steel bridge in 1911 to replace an earlier wooden crossing from 1803.

The bridge features a public art installation with a clock and text referencing Heraclitus's philosophy about the changing nature of rivers.

The structure connects the east and west sections of Toronto while accommodating vehicles, streetcars, and pedestrians through separate designated lanes.

The bridge construction used steel from six different English and Scottish mills, making it an unusual example of early 20th-century engineering.
