Here we go.

First video of a drive across the orange Commissioners Street Bridge, down newly paved Commissioners Street and across the New Cherry Street Bridge.

They are the nicest new transportation architecture in the city in a LONG TIME.

Best bridges by far.

Really just make you smile when you go across them. Such a simple design, but so pleasant.

The night lighting is spectacular. Lemon bridge get on it!

Oh and here is a very confused Apple Maps thinking I'm driving in water.

Villiers Street is now completed pyloned off and fully closed.

Old Cherry Street Lift Bridge is likewise completely pyloned off and fully closed.

Google Maps needs some big time updates.

 

[mburrrrr]

The fresh smooth dark pavement, wet roads, stunning lighting and vibrant bridge colours make for a spectacular opening!
Well done Toronto. Pinch me.

They are spectacular by day. Glorious by night.

‘Nocturne in Red and Orange’.

Nice curvaceous railings…

Funky panos…

Gorgeous! I wish they did better with the guardrails though. Even having them painted white would make it look better.

Fun to compare from just before the opening:

To now:

Showing Cherry Lift Bridge closed.

Showing Commissioners Street reopened.

Not Showing any traffic on New Cherry Street.

Not Showing Villiers closed were it's now pyloned off.

Apple Maps knows what's up. It's showing all the new openings and closures perfectly.

Google Maps meanwhile is all over the place. Showing old Cherry lift bridge open, showing Villiers open, show Munition St closed. Come on Google get it together.

When they going to light up the Lemon bridge?

It's the odd one out now.

All dark and sad every night while Orange and Cherry are shining bright.
