Keelesdale Park Bridge Entrance
When: Opened Fall 2013
The Eglinton Crosstown LRT
Rapid and reliable transit is coming to the centre of Toronto. The Crosstown will move Torontonians to work, school and play faster than ever before, reducing travel times and enhancing our economy and our environment. The Crosstown will run underground between Keele Street and Laird Drive, with trips up to 60% faster than today.
Purpose of Work
The Keelesdale Park Bridge provides convenient access to the park and Chris Tonks Arena during tunnelling construction for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The bridge provides separate public access, away from the construction vehicles, to enhance public safety and expedite construction. The bridge spans over Black Creek and conveniently links the sports fields, the future community centre and the Chris Tonks Arena.
As the new bridge is open, the existing driveway into Keelsdale Park is closed to the public and be used exclusively for construction access. Public access to the park has been moved from Eglinton Avenue to Black Creek Drive, just north of Photography Drive.
