Prince Edward Viaduct

There used to wonder views to of the bridge. With the oversized death by suicide fencing; it takes away from the view and architectural of the bridge. Yes, preventing is important; it could been designed better (like on other bridges) and added to the architecture.

This architectal masterpice is bridging the gap between the east and west parts of Toronto. It provides a spectacular view of greenery down below in the Don Valley as well as downtown highrises. At night, it enlightened with colorful changing led lights.

Prince Edward Viaduct has so much history over the years and when I look up at it, walk under it I'm thinking of all the lives lost. Troubled souls that used this location to take there own lives. There is nothing attractive and or beautiful about any of it except for the Pink colored lights at night. Over the past 40 years I've lived here we use to know what happened and when. After so many lost they finally put up the barricades to prevent further tragedy. Still to this day walking under the Prince Edward Viaduct brings back so many memories of our past.

During my recent visit to this park, it became apparent that the city had neglected its maintenance. The overall condition of the park was quite poor. However, if the city were to address this issue and ensure there are clean benches available, it could become a great spot to sit and enjoy the evening.

Nice architectural masterpiece designed by Edmund W. Burke. The Prince Edward Viaduct is a three hinged concrete-steel arch bridge with a total span of 494 metres (1,620 feet), at 40 metres (131 feet) above the Don Valley. The bridge consists of a deck made of transverse beams and I-girders, which transfer load to column supports.

The way the neon lights alternate between different colours during the night makes the experience more enjoyable

If you cycle in the while on tour, fly by this place. You get a great view. If you do want to stop to take picture however, make sure to pull your bike off the bike lane so others don't slam into you. Be kind and considerate.

Our favorite place for a night drive after a day of dance lessons at Access Ballroom. We love it how the bridge lights up at night, with the gorgeous views of the Toronto skyline and Don Valley Parkway. We even got inspired and had to park nearby to dance some Bachata on the bridge. :)

Not to be confused with the Prince Edward Bi-Addict, which is of course a member of the Royal Family who was... wayyyyy too into sleeping with people of both genders, and couldn't control himself. I've always loved this beautiful Viaduct, which traverses the amazing Don Valley Parkway, and which transports Danforth Ave from the residential part of town into the truly amazing Greektown section, where the festival is and where there's lots of fun to be had, not to mention lots of great meals. I definitely plan to keep crossing this beautiful bridge and admiring the views in both directions, and soaking up the magic of the Don Valley.

They put up wires/fencing Rep for a suicide spot Plus signage if u are down or need help Adding bike lanes also much improved

What's so special about this bridge besides it gets you from point A to point B? If you don't know, you have totally missed out. The the Prince Edward Viaduct, as it's formally named, connects Bloor Street East with Danforth Avenue; the subway trains run right beneath it. My favorite view is when the train comes out of the dark tunnel into the light and you are greeted with the expansive view of the verdant Don Valley. You need to put down your phone, look out the window and take in all it's splendor. Here's a little bit of the bridge's infamous history - "Tragically, the bridge became the site of suicide for more than 400 people from the time of its construction until 2003. To try and prevent this loss of life, in 2003, the City of Toronto, with support of the Danforth BIA, community groups and families who had lost loved ones, added a safety barrier to the upper part of the bridge. This safety barrier, called the Luminous Veil, is an award-winning design by Toronto's Dereck Revington." - toronto.ca. "Thanks to a complex system of LED lights and sensors, the lights change colour according to the wind, temperature and season, 360 days a year. The lights will turn on 25 minutes after sunset any given day and  turn off after sunrise" - Bloor Viaduct & Luminous Veil: 10 Things You Should Know. Knowing the history and technology behind this marvel makes me appreciate it even more. I will be back to walk the bridge in Autumn to see the Don Valley in it's vibrant Fall wardrobe.
