Toronto time-lapse…

Video captures three-day bridge demolition project.

As part of the City’s plan to upgrade its aging infrastructure (with some funds from the federal government’s stimulus package) a handful of bridges around Toronto are being repaired or rebuilt. Since the spring, the multiple bridges near the intersection of Lake Shore Blvd. and Jameson Ave. that cross over the Gardiner Expressway have been in a constant state of destruction.

The following time-lapse video – from Spacing Toronto – starts late in the evening of Thursday, August 5th and ends just after sundown on Sunday, August 8th. There are some gaps of time in the video due to the inaction of the construction site or when I had to bring the camera inside as a rain storm passed over.
