y,NNY <br />[E>B <br />:PEDELTA <br />Bridge Innovation & Advanced Material Design <br />The Garrison Crossing, Fort York - Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge in Toronto, it is a two tied stainless-steel <br />network arch bridges. Both bridges span the rail corridors almost perpendicularly to minimize the crossing <br />distance, which leads to a 170ft span for the North Bridge and 147ft m span for the South Bridge. To enhance <br />accessibility and foster connectivity of expanding communities around historic Fort York, CreateTO sought <br />development of a new pedestrian and cyclist link to Toronto's waterfront over two of Canada's busiest rail <br />corridors. The key design challenge was the need to achieve landmark quality in a heritage setting within a <br />tight budget. Pedelta Canada Inc. designed two pedestrian and cycle bridges utilizing Duplex stainless steel <br />for the entirety of the structure, an unprecedented technical innovation in North America. The pioneering use <br />of this forefront technology provided premium aesthetics within a unique setting, in addition to a safe and <br />durable transportation asset. The completed structure has an extended life cycle, is more corrosion -resistant, <br />and requires less maintenance thus reducing overall cost. <br />PEDELTA received the 2020 Canadian Consulting Engineering Award of Excellence for these bridges. <br />
