TORONTO\u2014The two newest additions to Toronto\u2019s Port Lands bridges, the Cherry Street North and Commissioners Street Bridges, are now open to vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist traffic.<\/p>\n
The opening signifies a major step in the redevelopment of 500 acres of once underutilized land.<\/p>\n
Waterfront Toronto\u2019s Port Lands Flood Protection Enabling Infrastructure project called for innovative bridges to be placed over current and future waterways in the area, states a release. The bridges, which are central to the $1.3 billion revitalization and regeneration effort, were designed by Entuitive, schlaich bergermann partner and Grimshaw Architects.<\/p>\n
Input was also received from Waterfront Toronto and construction manager EllisDon, who led the construction process from fabrication to erection.<\/p>\n
The bridges were designed as \u201can esthetically unified family of four and showcase innovative fabrication techniques alongside state-of-the-art engineering.\u201d<\/p>\nPHOTO COURTESY ENTUITIVE\u2014Shown is a close up view of the Commissioners Street Bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The single-span Cherry Street North Road and LRT Bridges and the four-span Commissioners Street Bridge join the previously opened Cherry Street South Bridge which opened in October 2022 and is a three-span bridge that crosses the new mouth of the Don River on the west side of Villiers Island.<\/p>\n
According to the release, the design team arrived at a hybrid shell-arch bridge structure, essentially curved-tied arches with a planar deck connected by hangers. The self-anchoring curved-tied arch maximizes the material efficiency, reduces cost and creates vertical reaction forces which reduce the size and complexity of the foundations. This was a key design consideration since the soil in the industrial area is contaminated and of poor quality and supporting foundations and piers were also limited by the site\u2019s flood protection plan.<\/p>\n
The team on the project includes Waterfront Toronto (project owner); Grimshaw Architects (architect firm); schlaich bergermann partner (preliminary structural design); Entuitive (structural engineer); EllisDon (general contractor); Cherubini Bridges & Structures (fabricator); Tenca Steel Detailing Inc. (detailer); ES Fox Ltd. (erector); Harbourside Engineering Consultants (erection engineer);Thurber Engineering Ltd. (geotechnical engineer); Planmac Engineering Inc. (civil engineer); and Mulvaney & Banani Lighting Inc. (electrical and lighting).<\/p>\n
