Note the remains of the demolished Inner Belt Bridge in the background. The West Third Street Bridge looks great now but underwent a botched rehabilitation in 2004 including the installation of lift cables that were three feet too short! It is a Vertical Lift Pratt through Truss bridge with a navigation clearance of 100 feet.

The bridge has been deemed structurally unsafe and is not viable for repair. Temporary bridges will be erected until 2016 when it will be fully rebuilt. Will we lose the stairs that serviced the old Parkdale eastbound platform too?
