This bridge is a rather mundane structure over Bay Street, on the Canadian Pacific mainline.

This bridge is a simple modern 75 foot through girder, on concrete abutments with nearly zero decoration features.

The spur that serves as the Union Pacific connection comes into this bridge onto a seperate span, sharing the same substructures.

It was built in 1980, and the photo above is an overview. The author has ranked it as having no significance, due to the modern age.
