Cherry Street Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge, Bascule bridge in Toronto, Canada.
The Cherry Street Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge spans 120 meters across the Toronto Harbour Ship Channel, featuring two lanes supported by 500 tons of steel.
Built in 1930 by Joseph Strauss and the Dominion Bridge Company, this bridge marked significant transportation development in Toronto's industrial Port Lands district.
The bridge maintains its role as a connector between Toronto's waterfront communities while supporting maritime activities through its mechanical lifting capabilities.
Regular maintenance operations, including a 22-million-dollar rehabilitation project from 2021 to 2025, ensure the bridge continues serving vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
The bridge operates with 750-ton concrete counterweights positioned on its northern side, allowing the structure to pivot and accommodate passing ships.
