Prince Edward Viaduct

There used to wonder views to of the bridge. With the oversized death by suicide fencing; it takes away from the view and architectural of the bridge. Yes, preventing is important; it could been designed better like on other bridges and added to the architecture.

Nice architectural masterpiece designed by Edmund W. Burke. The Prince Edward Viaduct is a three hinged concrete-steel arch bridge with a total span of 494 metres 1,620 feet, at 40 metres 131 feet above the Don Valley. The bridge consists of a deck made of transverse beams and I-girders, which transfer load to column supports.

Prince Edward Viaduct has so much history over the years and when I look up at it, walk under it I'm thinking of all the lives lost. Troubled souls that used this location to take there own lives. There is nothing attractive and or beautiful about any of it except for the Pink colored lights at night. Over the past 40 years I've lived here we use to know what happened and when. After so many lost they finally put up the barricades to prevent further tragedy. Still to this day walking under the Prince Edward Viaduct brings back so many memories of our past.

An historical landmark huge bridge and structure connecting east and west Toronto and subway below.

Grew up and played around the bridge on Cambridge Ave. 1959 - 72. Was there for opening of DVP., explored the entire valley. Went across to Jarvis CI and Rosedale everyday. My older sister climbed the bridge and my buddy and I talked a distraught lady off the bridge when we were teenagers. Also watched the CN tower being built from there. Always make a point to cross it when I visit although I have lived in the US for over 40 yrs. Great memories.....

Beautiful viewpoint over the Don River Valley

Great view while riding subway!

An amazing feat of architecture and helps give Toronto's 'city within a park' meaning. Definitely worth walking across or biking under to see the subway pass underneath the bridge. It also very neat to ride that section of the subway and come out to the view over the Don Valley and the phone reception

If you cycle in the while on tour, fly by this place. You get a great view. If you do want to stop to take picture however, make sure to pull your bike off the bike lane so others don't slam into you. Be kind and considerate.

Our favorite place for a night drive after a day of dance lessons at Access Ballroom. We love it how the bridge lights up at night, with the gorgeous views of the Toronto skyline and Don Valley Parkway. We even got inspired and had to park nearby to dance some Bachata on the bridge. :
