Queen Street Viaduct

Also known as the Riverside Bridge, this truss bridge allows for the crossing of the Don River at Queen Street East. The structure is strategically located at the juncture with King Street East and has been a major thoroughfare for streetcars since its opening in 1911. A metal staircase on the west bank of the river provides access to the Lower Don River Trail.
