A comparison (or flashback if you will) of Keating Channel west of the Cherry Street lift bridge. First photo taken in May of 2018. Second photo was taken this morning from the same spot. The new Cherry Street North bridge was installed last November. Some additions to the skyline as well.

does anybody with a background in the field know whether opening up the mouth as they're doing will have an effect on the river further north? I would think it'll increase the flow and help to keep the river cleaner and more vibrant for wildlife?

The Don River flow is controlled by weirs so the quantity of water flowing will not change. The City and TRCA are working hard to stop all sewers etc discharging into the Don, THAT will (and has) certainly had an effect on cleaning it up.

A prime example of this is the massive holding tank they are constructing at Bloor/Danforth and the DVP. You can see it from the viaduct when you pass along on the subway.

It should help ease the flooding and excess discharge back into the surrounding waters.

This 'tank' is a smallish part of the HUGE Don River and Central waterfront Wet Weather Flow System. https://www.toronto.ca/services-pay...aylor-massey-creek-and-inner-harbour-program/

Some activity at the Cherry Street North bridge this morning. Shot from my balcony in the Distillery District.

Looks like the bridge was lowered into its final resting place.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Maybe the support bearings finally arrived.

Some dewatering activity on the ramp leading up to the new bridge.

I can see some great (Chicago Riverwalk ) vibes if that water channel is developed into some restaurants/bars/coffee shops hotels etcc....

I don't think anyone has noted that they have started excavating the Don River sediment and debris management area on west side of Don River just north of the Aecon tents that were used for the Gardiner work.
