Our team consid- ered the life-cycle cost, which includes all anticipated maintenance costs.” ARCHITECTURALAPPEAL Once completed, Garrison Crossing will be an attractive addition to the city’s urban architecture. Both the north and south span have a somewhat unique geometry, with only one set of suspension rods. According to Sobrino, the goal was “to provide an inspiring, safe and memorable experience for pedestrians and cyclists with two high- quality and unique contemporary arch expressions… We proposed duplex stainless steel for the entire structure – an unprecedented technical accom- plishment in North America that delivers significant sustainability and economic benefits.” For his part, Theofilou is proud of his role in the novel infrastructure project and the fact that everything proceeded as planned, without any major glitches despite the numerous inherent chal- lenges. “Once I saw the first bridge in place, you just marvel at what you’ve collectively done,” he says. “It was a difficult project and it’s hard to go into what should have been done better, but everything has gone very well overall and we are looking forward to our first walks over both spans.” |BD GARRISONCROSSING: KEYPLAYERS TheGarrisonCrossingprojecthas been led by Dufferin Construc- tion, the general contractor, and managed by Build Toronto, an independent land development corporation formed by the city of Toronto, and MMM Group, which is providing engineering consultation.
