The Bentway, Public gathering space beneath Gardiner Expressway, Toronto, Canada.
The Bentway extends for 1.75 kilometers under Toronto's elevated highway, connecting neighborhoods through pedestrian and cycling paths year-round.
The location follows the original Lake Ontario shoreline, which served as a trading route and gathering place for Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
The space hosts seasonal activities including an ice skating trail in winter, art installations, performances, and community festivals throughout the year.
Visitors can access washrooms, seating areas for 250 people, and a dedicated green room at the Strachan Gate entrance of the complex.
The concrete support columns of the expressway, called bents, provide structural foundations for lighting, power systems, and diverse programming spaces.
