Bridge Conceptual and Aesthetic Design

The Garrison Crossing in Toronto, Canada

, PhD, PE, PEng., ing., ICCP
 

Abstract

The Garrison Crossing project in Toronto project includes the North-American’s first two pedestrian bridges using duplex stainless steel on the entire structure. The structure has an extended life cycle, is more corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance, reducing its overall life-cycle cost. Each bridge is supported by a single arch rib inclining at 18° to provide a slender, transparent, and elegant impression. The two arches tilt in opposite directions that result in a dynamic expression. The stainless steel provides premium aesthetics and a safe and durable asset for the City of Toronto.
