BUILDING INFORMATION
Name & Location:
Queen Street Bridge
Queen Street East
Toronto
Moss Park
Year Completed:
1911
OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Alternate Name:
Queen Street Viaduct
Notes:

The current truss bridge spanning the Don River on Queen Street East was built in 1911 to replace an earlier bridge. The 200m bridge supports cars, streetcars, and pedestrians. The steel work was contracted to the English company Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company.

This bridge incorporates an artwork by Eldon Garnet, called "Time and a Clock", installed in 1996 and one part of three installations in the Queen Broadview area. The artwork features a clock (no longer functioning) and the quote "This river I step in is not the river I stand in," from ancient-Greek philosopher Heraclitus.
