The Cherry Street Lift Bridge, shown here in the ‘up‘ position, is the smaller of two bascule structures.  This  bridge spans a canal at the mouth of the Don River where it enters TORONTO Harbour. <PHOTOS – Bryan Blenkin>

The bigger Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge carries Cherry Street over the TORONTO Harbour Ship Channel, and allows vessels to enter the Channel and the turning basin beyond. <PHOTO – SimonP>
