Ship Channel Bridge Update – May 2

Toronto (May 2, 2024) – The Ship Channel Bridge will remain in the upright position until Friday, May 10 as structural analysis on the damaged main shaft and lifting mechanism continues. Engineering teams expect results next week that will determine next steps for the repair/containment of damage sustained April 22, and the continued safe operation of the bridge. PortsToronto will continue to provide updates here and on our social media channels as information becomes available. 
 
During this time, Cherry Street will remain closed for vehicular and pedestrian traffic south of Polson Street. Members of the public and all Port users can still use Unwin Avenue (base of Leslie Street) to access the Port and Cherry Beach.
