Old Eastern Avenue Bridge, Metal truss bridge in Toronto, Canada.

The Eastern Avenue Bridge spans 45 meters across the Don River with a width of 19 meters and features a concrete arch design.

Construction of the bridge in 1933 cost $70,864 and replaced a wooden structure that the Don River ice had damaged in 1900.

The bridge marks the transformation of Toronto from a natural landscape with meandering rivers to an industrial center in the early 20th century.

The bridge closure in 1964 followed the Don Valley Parkway construction, which altered traffic patterns and made the structure redundant.

The structure contains two separate spans: a northern concrete arch carrying gas lines and a southern metal truss section for former vehicle traffic.
