Aurora Radial Railway Bridge Abutment

The Aurora Radial Railway Bridge Abutment is all that remains of a bridge that was built across the Grand Trunk Railway line in 1899[1] as part of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company which built its radial line from Toronto along Yonge Street through Aurora, ending at Lake Simcoe.

The bridge was removed in 1922 when radial tracks were relocated to share the Yonge Street underpass under the Grand Trunk Railway line.

The radial line eventually closed in 1930 with the tracks removed the following year.

The abutment is the last large remaining artefact of the radial railway in Aurora.

[1] The abutment is a protected historical structure located in Aurora, Ontario.
