Mimico Creek Pedestrian Bridge

Toronto

IN SHORT

Toronto Department of Parks and Culture commissioned the Mimico Creek Bridge project as part of an extension to the Waterfront Trail along the shores of Lake Ontario. Located westwards from the city, the site is close to Toronto's famous Humber River Arch Bridge. The Mimico Creek Bridge with its single inclined arch proposes an elegant design counterpoint to an existing landmark and does so at a modest scale, while contributing a memorable new element of its own to the site and its surrounding areas. Designed for pedestrians and cyclists, the Mimico Creek Bridge spans 44 meters (144 feet) with a 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) wide deck.
