Dupont Bridge gets painted with Railpath lettering

Although the "unofficial" Railpath Opening Parade happened just over one month ago, work still continues on some of the Railpath's final touches.

Recently, the Dupont and Bloor bridges were painted orange, and new "West Toronto Railpath" lettering was added. The wooden bridge decking is now complete, and the railings are installed. If you go past the bridges at night, you will also notice that there is a strip of white LED lighting above the lettering.

Kevin Putnam caught some of the work in action in this series of photos.

After the recently finished orange paint job on the Bloor and Dupont bridges, workers added "West Toronto Railpath" lettering to the bridges.

This past Saturday, the Friends of the West Toronto Railpath organized an opening celebration / parade, in honour of the Railpath's completion this year. Although there is still some work to be done on the path, with an "official" opening happening probably around September of this year, the path is mostly ready for everyone to enjoy.

Have a look below for some photos from the opening parade. A complete gallery of photos taken on this day can be found here, as well as some discussion of the event on the I Bike TO website.

Gathering: Cyclists, walkers, and other neighbours gathered at the Wallace Ave. entrance to the soon-to-be-finished West Toronto Railpath. The "parade" was a celebration of the path's completion this year, and was part of the City of Toronto's "Bike Month" festivities.
