The bridge is unique as it is one of only a few suspension bridges found in Ontario, and one of the shortest vehicular applications (most suspension bridges are used to span major waterways or valleys). HistoryCompleted in 1912, it was designed by civil engineer Frank Barber and Lewis Construction.[1] It is the only suspension bridge in Toronto. The bridge likely provided the only means to cross the Rouge in north Scarborough when it was built. It is located not far from another important bridge crossing the Rouge, Old Finch Avenue Bailey Bridge. CurrentThe bridge remains in use (with restoration in 1981[2]) and is listed in the city's list of historic structures (one of 15 bridges).[3] Two single cables holds up the {{convert|50|m|ft}} bridge with loads under {{convert|5|t|ST}} and is maintained by Toronto Transportation Services. An historic plaque was added after 1981 to provide details on the bridge's history and unique value.[4] See also
