Thanks - yes I have seen those pictures. I have yet to find a photo of the bridge...

I have been looking everywhere, but have not found a photo of the Bailey Bridge that was built after Hurricane Hazel in 1954 over the Humber River where Indian Line crossed. I used to cross that bridge regularly and remember the one lane and traffic lights there. I would love to have a photo of...

I went on the field trip on Friday to see what I could find. Although we did not find conclusive evidence, there is still evidence that suggests that Humberline did cross the Humber River. Check out my travel blog for more information and photos: http://lostontario.blogspot.com/

Good points adma, and you are right about maps - often they do have things on them that should have been removed - whether old roads or proposed ones that never came to be. The old proposed '427' makes more sense in that light. I am heading over to Rexdale Blvd tomorrow to see if I can find...

The 'interchange' at Rexdale / 27 is not Queen's Plate Drive. It is a bit odd, and I don't honestly recall if that intersection ever had those ramps, but I don't recall them. I don't think the dotted line extension you see is a plan for 427 extension to 27. It does not really make sense as it...

Lack of photographic evidence certainly does not mean there was no bridge, since I have yet to find photographic evidence of either the pre-1954 Indian Line Bridge over the Humber, or it's post-Hurricane Hazel replacement Bailey Bridge, yet I personally traveled over the Bailey Bridge almost...

I have found more maps that show 4th Concession aka Humberline Drive, and one clearly shows it with a bridge over the Humber River. The map book was purchased by me in 1977, but could be slightly older - it does not appear to have a date on it.

OK, Here is a map from 1980 which shows Finch ending at Humberline and the two ends of Humberline with a gap across the Humber River: A road map of 1910 shows the concession but likely concessions were shown more as road allowances I would guess, not that the map might accurately depict the...

Here is a photo I took in 1987 showing Humberline south of Finch. It was a dirt road at that time and did peter out as it went south, although it went all the way into the valley. The curbs were new at the time as they were just starting the development south of Finch. At the time, I could not...

Thanks Mustapha, I appreciate it. :)

Not sure if this thread is in the right place. (forgive a newbie) :) I have launched a new website at http://lostontario.ca which is a totally non-commercial venture designed to preserve the images of buildings, roads, bridges etc in Ontario for people to be able to see - kind of like a...

I remember the Indian Line Bailey Bridge across the Humber as I used it often in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I have been looking for a photo of it for years, but have never been able to find one. Anyone know where a photo might be??? I am starting a website (lostontario.ca) dedicated to...
