Thanks for the photos.

That corridor through the under-construction Sun Life Tower is going to be very austere - especially considering they plan on having it open in about a month!

seems this bridge has been constructed to pass only short vehicles which 5 meter high. I think truck trailers and buses can't pass

Do you think they're building the bridge without take in consideration vertical clearance? By the way, the taller bus in the GTA is the GO double decker (which run exclusively on the 407 and the 403) and it's 4.2 meters.

Alright, let's play what fits under the bridge...

Motorcycle fits under the bridge:

Small SUV fits under the bridge:

Work van fits under the bridge:

Let's just hope no drunk dump truck driver tries to drive under it with his box up.

hawc, that pic scared the shit out of me. I was scrolling through quickly and thought that it had actually happened. After a little panic, I noticed it was the pic of the Skyway accident.

The area has developed to the point where the ramp seems extremely out of place due to it's length. Isn't there any way they can make it shorter but steeper? The grade seems pretty shallow right now.

It's planned that the York/Bay/Yonge ramps from the EB Gardiner will be removed.

So if this ramp were gone, you'd have to either get off at Spadina or Jarvis? That's a lot more traffic on both of those already busy ramps.

New ramp will be constructed exiting at Lower Simco.

Looking down from above.

So even though the Sunlife building isn't finished at all and is still under construction, they're going to finish one passageway through through the edge of the building?
