The iconic skyline view enjoyed from the Leaside Bridge over the Don Valley will soon be even more dynamic, as the early stages of construction advance for what will likely prove one of the most significant bridges ever built in Toronto. Serving 15 new stations, including a stretch through the heart of downtown, the line will include a combined underground and above-grade right-of-way that will cross the Don Valley (and the Don Valley Parkway) twice along its route. And it is in views from that very Leaside Bridge that the new Don Valley Crossing has the potential to shine as a lasting landmark for the city, despite a somewhat utilitarian concrete design. The Leaside Bridge is already a popular spot for photographers thanks to a beautiful skyline view framed by the lush valley and motion of the Don Valley Parkway below. This slope is where Ontario Line trains will eventually emerge from the eastern tunnelled section running underground and emerge over the large bridge.
