I read about this bridge in Michael Ondaatje's novel In the Skin of a Lion, which I think is one of the great literary masterpieces (as least for me personally). The Bloor Viaduct is not only a literary icon but a real part of Canadian heritage too, the fact that it stands today standing for the individual stories of all the Canadian immigrants who lived in the area and worked on building the bridge. In the past that Ondaatje wrote about, people thought of the bridge, "It will carry trains that have not even been invented yet". Today I ride those very subway trains and get off at the station closest to the Prince Edward Bridge to visit a special person, and I always think how amazing it is to pass by this bridge that has such an iconic part in Canadian history and literature.
