...that should just about do it.

Just saying, could it have been only that what we see here now was built with no span ever being included, aka "Arrested Development"?

Home all day with nothing to do but research. I'm still puzzled by these ruined bridge foundations at the upper end of the Humber...
They seem too small to have ever supported anything but a single lane, if that. Maybe just a pedestrian bridge?
The staircase underneath is also strange, assuming its part of the original structure. If there was a span across there wouldn't you just be walking up into the bottom of it?
I'm wondering if it was either built earlier, as part of one of the mills in the area, or later as part of the former Riverbank Park cottage community,
My guess is that it may be part of the Toronto Suburban Electric Railway that went from Weston to Woodbridge.
Interurban rail; exactly what I was thinking (it seems to be often the story w/these "mystery bridge foundations")
JT's theory may be the most likely, and the foundations where only the start of bigger plans for the whole landscape which never materialized - though the first aerial mattelderca posted seems to show something...possibly...I think? But its hard to make out.
