Crawford Street Bridge

The Crawford Street Bridge extends 52 meters across the former Garrison Creek with three separate concrete spans and pedestrian walkways on both sides.

Built in 1915 to replace an 1884 wooden structure, the bridge connected residential areas across the Garrison Creek valley until its burial in the 1960s.

The bridge design reflects the engineering standards of early 20th century Toronto under Public Works Commissioner Roland Caldwell Harris's infrastructure initiatives.

Following maintenance work in 2004, the bridge received new sidewalks, a narrower roadbed, and foaming grout to strengthen its underground structure.

While the bridge remains intact beneath the surface, only commemorative plaques and concrete markers indicate its presence under Trinity-Bellwoods Park.
