Leaside Bridge, Road bridge in East York, Canada

The Leaside Bridge stretches across the Don River with six traffic lanes, connecting the neighborhoods of Leaside and Thorncliffe Park in Toronto.

The bridge construction started in January 1927 and set records by completing the 1,443-foot structure in just ten months of intensive work.

The bridge features decorative tiled mosaic handrails designed by New York architect Claude Bragdon using materials from the Italian Mosaic and Tile Company.

The structure includes dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides, providing safe passage for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians across the Don River Valley.

The bridge rises 45.4 meters above the Don River Valley, making it one of the highest crossing points in the Toronto transportation network.
