Sheppard Avenue Bridge

Sheppard Avenue Bridge

Sheppard Avenue Bridge is a under deck Truss bridge that spans the Don River on Sheppard Avenue West, just east of Bathurst Street. Built in 1954, the bridge has a scenic view of the West Don River and Earl Bales Park.

The upper deck carries four lanes of traffic. There is a water main in the steel sub-structure.

In April 2006 a small section of the road collapsed due to a break in the 50 year old water main carried below. The bridge was out of commission for three weeks.
