New Two-Story Mass Timber Pedestrian Bridge Installed at George Brown College in Toronto

PCL, a group of independent construction companies that carries out work across Canada, the US, the Caribbean, and Australia, and Limberlost Place partners are celebrating a significant construction milestone at George Brown College’s Limberlost Place in Toronto with the installation of a two-story mass timber pedestrian bridge.

The pedestrian bridge was erected 65 feet above street level and connects level five of Limberlost Place to level six of the college’s Daphne Cockwell Center for Health Science.

Installation of the bridge included prefabricating individual cross-laminated timber pieces at an off-site location before being shipped and built on site. After four days of assembly, the team executed a complex and intricate one-day lift to install the structure.
