The pedestrian bridge linking the Eaton Centre to the Hudson's Bay Company on Queen Street is getting a new look.
It's being replaced with a new bridge.
A stretch of Queen Street West is closed to vehicular traffic this weekend; crews removed the bridge around 9 a.m. Saturday.
The closure between Yonge Street and Bay Street went into effect at 11 p.m. on Friday and is expected to remain in effect until 5 a.m. on Monday.
Pedestrians will still have access to the sidewalks during the closure, however the city says there will be “periodic stoppages” during crane hoisting work.
The new bridge is being built off-site and will be put up in the fall.
The opening coincides with the 40th anniversary of the Eaton Centre.
