Some of you may have seen the article in The Star last week that talked about a short stretch of Bathurst Street up in East Gwillumbury that was so poor that they closed it in the 1990s, and how they're now keen to reopen and improve it. I was really intrigued so on the weekend I and a buddy went up there to take shots of the stretch before it's erased from history. I hadn't expected much but there was actually a wonderful little one-lane bridge (in fact, that whole winding stretch of Bathurst strikes me as one lane; it must have been some ride 20 years ago). I knew from GoogleMaps there was a stream there but I'd expected just a culvert over it. The bridge is in terrible shape, other than the deck, but it might just survive because I highly doubt the new course of the road will follow the old.
Here's a GoogleMap of the site. The closed section runs about half a mile...
And now, the photos. We came in from the south, didn't make it quite to the other end (extremely slippery, and we'd had about enough). On our way back, the clouds burst and we got absolutely soaked. I'm just glad my cameras and cell phone survived unharmed!
