Exhibition Station and 2 - 20 Atlantic Ontario Line Support Area. The site was very active, with a number of construction workers present in each area.

Can someone explain if the new station will be built around the temporary bridge or will it be in further east/west of it and the bridge will end up being demolished entirely?

I think the bridge is entirely temporary. The plans revealed so far indicate the station will have a kind of passenger concourse located above the tracks. I don't see how they would incorporate this bridge into that structure.

Lots of info on timelines and where the station will sit is in my post with the slides from the latest open house.
TLDR - The bridge that's up now will be coming down in 2026 or 2027 and the station will more/less be where the existing one sits. The temporary bridge will come down before the canopy over the station is built.

The station concourse building will be centred between Jefferson and Atlantic. However the concourse will not be at the centre of platforms, those will extend a bit further to the east than west.
The new overpass is a bit to the east of the new construction, it should be uninterrupted during construction and only demolished once the station is open (possibly/likely sooner than Ontario Line is open).

The pedestrian bridge is getting a soft opening briefly for the TFC crowd this afternoon. The game kicks off at 2pm, hope someone here gets a chance to film or photograph for all!

Photo dump from the bridge soft opening today.
Something I didn't realize before is that we're going to have a great view of the construction of the new station from the bridge.
