Bathurst Street Bridge
The Bathurst street bridge is a steel truss bridge over the rail tracks south of Front St. The bridge was built in 1903 and was moved to this location in 1916. It is a four-lane bridge, with two lanes for street cars, and a wide pedestrian walkway.
I love such rustic and simple bridges. Especially on days when the light is perfect, shadows are crisp and I am equipped with a camera (this picture was taken during summer). 
Google maps now supports ‘street view’ in Toronto. You can view actual pictures of the place!

You said the bridge was moved? From where?
Hmm, you made me an investigative journalist….
The bridge was built in 1903 on the Lakeshore Blvd just few blocks away. It was moved to Bathurst street in 1916 when the street was rebuilt (is ‘grid-ification’ a word? you know what I mean.)
We have very similar bridges in Ottawa, and I saw some in Montreal too. Same architect, same engineer school or… just a Canadian bridge?!
I think this is a “default” bridge, LOL!
I like that you have included the cyclist in the photograph.:)
Thanks Celine, definitely makes the picture livelier!
