Old Bathurst Street Bridge, May 2, 1916. City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1231, Item 1921.
The first bridge to separate Bathurst Street from train traffic was built soon after the first engine rumbled by in 1855. Refurbished several times over its 60-year lifespan, the first Bathurst Street Bridge provided unimpeded access to Fort York and the Queen’s Wharf.
