Default Bailey Bridge at Weber's Restaurant

Jon:

Sorry to say the bridge at Weber's restaurant on hwy 11 in Orillia is not a Bailey bridge. I well remember the original "Baileys"' over Lakeshore Dr from the CNE to the waterfront. I travelled them many times during the 50's and 60's to view the CNE airshow. They were replaced when Ontario Place first opened (opposite the CNE) in the late 60's, with covered, purpose built bridges commensurate with Ontario Places' design. Upon an update to Ontario Place in the late 70's-early 80's these bridges became surplus to their needs and Weber purchased one for his restaurant. The rest is.............history.
