Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge wins Ontario Engineering Award

We are pleased to announce that Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge and Tunnel received an Ontario Engineering Project Award from the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies (ACEC)!

Maintaining its historical location under Bloor Street East and over Rosedale Valley Ravine, the new Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge & Tunnel serves as a key connection between the neighbourhoods of St. James Town and Rosedale. The design retains the core visual character of the original bridge, while improving its aesthetics with wood handrails, coloured aggregate deck surfacing, and continuous aluminum approach railings. The bridge and tunnel have been widened to increase openness and sightlines, and the bridge features innovative V-shaped barriers, stainless steel webnet, and LED lighting to enhance above-deck user safety.

DTAH provided bridge architecture and urban design advisory services for the project, with Stantec as the lead engineering consultant.

It has been very rewarding to see the positive response from the community since the Bridge & Tunnel opened to the public in 2025. Thanks to ACEC-Ontario for this recognition!
