the new communities surrounding toronto grew rapidly several bridges were constructed to overcome the barrier of the don valley among these were the vale of avoca st clair avenue east of yonge street and the east york leaside viaduct the town of leaside built by canadian northern railway in the late teens and early 1920s sought to attract investors and homebuyers a connection over the don valley to the town of todmorden mills and on to toronto would provide this sod was turned in mid december and active construction began in january 1927 2 under the direction of bridge designer frank barber the bridge was rapidly assembled throughout the spring and summer and inaugurated on october 29 as the confederation bridge in honour of the sixtieth anniversary of that event the tiled mosaic handrail was designed by new york architect calude bragdon with tiles supplied by italian mosaic and tile company 3 in the late 1960s as the first of numerous plans appeared to extend leslie street south of eglinton plans were initiated to widen the bridge to support six lanes of traffic the bridge was closed beginning september 16 1968 and reopened february 8 1969 4 girders were attached to the sides of the bridge to widen the deck to either side 3 and the piers were reinforced on the corners to carry the additional weight the expanded bridge had guardrail consisting of a concrete barrier topped with a double tubular railing considerably plainer than the original decorative parapets between 2004 and 2006 the bridge was rehabilitated 3 the second of two contracts to rehabilitate the bridge was awarded in 2005 and included the restoration of the decorative handrail from the original 1927 design 5 6 facts edit engineer frank barber associate architect claude bragdon height 45 4
