Heritage Toronto

Crawford Street Bridge was a significant structure in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, designed to cross the Garrison Creek valley. Constructed between 1914 and 1915, it replaced an earlier wooden crossing and shared design elements with the notable Prince Edward Viaduct. The bridge's creation aimed to facilitate access for residents in the developing neighbourhood along Crawford Street, connecting areas north of Lobb Avenue to south of Dundas Street West.

By the 1920s, Garrison Creek itself was covered over, and the intention was to bury the bridge intact. This transformation occurred in stages, notably when earth from the Bloor subway construction in the 1960s was used to fill the valley on either side. While most other bridges over Garrison Creek were removed earlier, Crawford Bridge, with its railings and lamp posts taken down, was ultimately buried, remaining unseen beneath the landscape. Record of city maintenance in 2004 indicates recent work was carried out on the area, adjusting the road and rebuilding pavements.
