Lake Shore Boulevard Bailey Bridge is a Bailey bridge in Toronto, Ontario. It is the one of two Bailey bridges in the current city and only remaining Bailey bridge within the Old Toronto.^[1] It was erected in 1952 (some say 1947^[2]) but dates back to World War II when it was manufactured for the British Army.^[3] It is used as a pedestrian bridge to connect Exhibition Place to the waterfront south of Lake Shore Boulevard.^[3]

This type of bridge was used to allow visitors to the Canadian National Exhibition to walk to waterfront activities in safety.^[2]

It was erected by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario using steel supplied by the Dominion Bridge Company and was renovated during 1998.^[3]
