Celebrate the Lighting of the historic Riverside Bridge by DPM Energy on June 5th!
On the evening of Friday, June 5th, the Riverside BIA and community will launch the Riverside Gateway Bridge Project – a $600,000 capital installation illuminating the iconic Riverside Bridge. The
bridge is the gateway to Toronto’s Riverside District, located on Queen Street East, between the DVP and Empire Avenue.
The Riverside Gateway Bridge Light Up has many people to thank for its completion, however, one of the most pivotal contributions came from DPM Energy who was the lead engineer for this project. The newly revitalized bridge is the work of a highly creative, capable and well-rounded team.
DPM Energy is a progressive engineering firm specializing in the design of power, regulatory details and lighting systems. Having worked with Pan Am Athlete’s Village and Waterfront Toronto, this is another product they are able to apply their creativity to. DPM Energy President Nick Lozzo quotes:
“This is the first of its kind in Toronto and with any new style of project, team work and cooperation was critical to its success. The site should continue to grow after the games have wrapped up becoming home for many people”.
This goes to show that it is a tr uly special addition to our city that is sure to leave a lasting legacy during and after the Pan Am and Para Pan Am Games.
The Riverside Gateway Bridge is just moments away from the Games Athlete’s Village, which will ensure that it is a very popular neighbourhood. Having a project like this that has maintained its energy and was brought alive will bring that extra magic to Riverside. After a successful completion, it is now ready to be shared with the public!
LET US KNOW you’re coming to the Riverside Bridge Lighting June 5th!
