Cherry Street lift bridge, Bascule bridge in Port Lands, Toronto, Canada
The Cherry Street lift bridge spans the Toronto Harbour Ship Channel with two lanes of traffic and separate paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
Built in 1930 by Joseph Strauss and the Dominion Bridge Company, the bridge features 750-ton concrete counterweights that enable pivoting while opening.
The bridge received recognition under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1992, marking its status as a significant industrial structure in Toronto's waterfront.
The bridge connects the Port Lands district to downtown Toronto, allowing both vehicle traffic and maritime vessels through its lifting mechanism.
The structure incorporates 500 tons of steel and operates with a counterweight system that maintains balance during lifting operations.
