McEwan's Bridge ~ Vaughan
The Humber River was busy today showing winter that spring was just three weeks away. Beneath McEwan's Bridge, broad sections of the river were running free from icy bank to bank. The City of Vaughan is considering restoring McEwan's bridge to its former grace and functionality. It's hard to imagine anyone opposing such an initiative. It was built in 1923, which means it has been around for 88 years. 88 is considered a special number to many people. In Chinese culture, 88 symbolizes fortune and good luck, so maybe this augers well for McEwan's Bridge. The bridge is described as a bowstring arch type and, in 2011, is the Humber River crossing point for the Humber Valley Heritage Trail. It is located a few steps east of the Kirby and Huntington Roads intersection, north of Nashville and south of Nobleton. The City of Vaughan welcomes comments from interested citizens and you can do so online. For myself this bridge has spanned more than just a river for 88 years. It has spanned generations and history. It is part of a people's heritage.
