Comments on: The property holds historical value as the bri dge was constructed to carry a portion of the Grand Trunk Railway and it incorporates abutme nts from a previous Great Western Railway bridge. The Grand Trunk played an important ro le in Ontario’s development history, and Toronto’s railways connected it to new markets and contributed si gnificantly to its growth and regional dominance. In terms of contextual value, this bridge contributes to a landscape of bridges and underpasses along the mouth of the Humber River. As an ear ly bridge across this portion of the Humber (integrating portions of an ev en earlier bridge), it remains important in supporting the character of this area, which is defined by connective infrastr ucture clustered on the Humber, traversing green space and industrial land. The br idge is physically, functionally, visually, and historically integrated with its surroundings, as it carries track across th e Humber River. It is visually connected to Lake Shore Boulevard and The Queensway, and access to the underpass is linked to the Humber River Recreational Trail. The new span being pushed into position where the crane will move it over to track #1 to be lowered into the Humber.
