Night shots of bridge after rotation. Pretty much what you see in these shots is how you'll see it with your own eyes tonight.

Tomorrow's a holiday for me, so if it's not raining I'm going to bike over and take a look.

Reminder that while the Cherry Street north bridges will be red the Cherry Street south and Commisioners bridges will be yellow and orange respectively.

Here’s How We Designed Toronto’s New Bridges
It’s not often that a city gets the chance to add a new bridge to its skyline – and we’re adding four.

It's a tragedy that the view of the CN Tower is blocked by Daniels Waterfront from this (and the bridge's) angle.

Half a bridge from my distant Mc Donald’s perspective.

Bridge rotation complete at 6pm. Next step is barge filling with water ballast. Photo is pretty much the way you'll see it with your own eyes tonight.

Crazy how something relatively small is going to become an instant Toronto landmark. Investing in beautiful infrastructure is the way to go. Canadian built is just the Cherry (St) on top.

It really isn't that small in person. Not gigantic but still big.

And Cherry North is the smallest of the 4.
Not entirely Canadian built - the double-curved steel is shaped in The Netherlands.

Taken around 10 AM. Appears to be just inches above its final mounting position. (Note barge depth compared to yesterday's pics).
South end...

Would they really mount it on those concrete blocks? Seems to me those would be temporary and the bridge would rest on the "new" poured concrete below. Maybe the barge can't be lowered further to rest that far down and cranes will need to be used?
