City of Toronto	Southerly view at night from the Leaside Bridge, high atop the Don Valley. The Leaside Bridge was constructed in 1927, long before an expressway was considered for the Don River Valley. The Don River was a formidable obstacle to urban sprawl in the early days of York. Photo taken: March 14th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	View looking northerly towards the Don Mills Road interchange along the Don Valley Parkway. Photo taken: March 14th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	View looking southerly from the Spanbridge Road overpass overtop the Don Valley Parkway. South of Spanbridge, the freeway earns its name by hugging the east side of the deep ravine that has been cut by the Don River in the years since Southern Ontario was covered by a massive glacier. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	Looking northerly from Spanbridge Road. The freeway carriageways split due to the high-voltage power lines. Over the years there have been several proposals to build and expressway alongside the hydro lines between the DVP and the 401. Obviously, none of these proposals has ever seriously gotten of the ground. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	Southbound view of the Eglinton Avenue interchange from Wynford Drive. The area surrounding Eglinton Avenue and the Don Valley Parkway has been the site of considerable corporate development over the years. This node would be further intensified should Toronto's Transit City Plan be implemented. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	Northerly view from Wynford Drive through the North Toronto CP Line. This railway overpass is the closest thing to a tunnel within the City of Toronto limits. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	Southerly view from the North Toronto (Havelock Subdivision) CP Rail overpass. Photo taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	Two views northerly from the CPR overpass. Lawrence Avenue meets The Parkway at an elongated cloverleaf interchange. This is one of the few full cloverleaf interchanges left in Ontario, and the only one remaining The Greater Toronto Area. Dare I say it, but I don't think it will ever be replaced with a conventional partial cloverleaf interchange. Photos taken: May 29th, 2009.	Low-res High-res Low-res High-res
City of Toronto	View looking southerly from the Lawrence Avenue overpass. There is a small collection of high-rises along the Don Valley Parkway in the vicinity of Eglinton Avenue. Photo taken: July 12th, 2011.	(720x480) (1440x960) (2400x1600)
The DVP ends at the 401 -- at Ontario's busiest interchange -- the freeway continues northerly as Highway 404. Click here for Highway 401 images and here for Highway 404 images
