The Bathurst Street Bridge is a steel Truss bridge in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It carries four lanes for motor vehicles with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)'s streetcar tracks along Bathurst Street over the railway tracks south of Front Street. The steel Truss bridge was built in 1903 and carried traffic along Lake Shore Road (now crossed over by Lake Shore Boulevard and Gardiner Expressway) over the Humber River. It was re-located in 1916 to Bathurst and re-aligned (Bathurst Street was at an angle south of Front Street) in 1931.
The Tywn River Drive Bridge, Queen Street Viaduct and King Street Bridge are other examples of steel bridges in Toronto.
Lawrence Avenue Bridge was a truss bridge that took traffic over Don River, but it was replaced by the current overpass over the Don River and Don Valley Parkway in the 1960s.
