Millwood Bridge
also known as the Leaside Bridge

I first visited this site late in March.  For one reason or another I didn’t get around to adding the photos that I took that day to this blog.  I was back yesterday on another grey day.  There are now leaves on the trees and the graffiti on the concrete has been painted over.

looking along the length of the bridge from just underneath it at one end. Sloping ground in the picture, as are concrete supports and the metal steel girders supporting the road above.

graffiti on the yellow girders under the bridge. The concrete supports at the end of the bridge are also visible and also covered with graffit.

Catwalk under the Millwood bridge, looking down almost the whole length of it. A person is on the catwalk in the distance.

There was also some graffiti and street art on the concrete supports at the north end of the bridge.  These have now been painted over.  The graffiti on the metal portions of the bridge remains.

Lovebot didn’t want to stick to the paint on the girder but he hung around long enough to get a picture.

I am beginning to wonder how many bridges there are in Toronto!  Yesterday I walked under three that I hadn’t been under before.  These are the photos from one of those bridges – Bathurst Street over Cedarvale Park, just north of St. Clair Ave.
