The Queensway has reopened from Bronson to Carling avenues after last night's successful demolition of the Harmer Avenue pedestrian bridge.

A new bridge and related infrastructure are set to be installed over the next two years, and in the meantime there's a detour for cyclists and pedestrians along Holland Avenue.

The highway was closed at 5 p.m. Saturday to allow for the old bridge's demolition, and was reopened at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday, half an hour ahead of schedule.

Coun. Jeff Leiper live-tweeted the bridge demolition overnight, and here's a recap.

And they're off!

Bye bye, highway sign.

We’re going to need a new sign. <a href="https://t.co/LEew9MMxGx">pic.twitter.com/LEew9MMxGx</a> —@JLeiper

Reminiscent of La Machine?

Time for the jackhammer.

This is awesome. I love this ward. <a href="https://t.co/NzCfDdUYlX">pic.twitter.com/NzCfDdUYlX</a> —@JLeiper

Easy does it.

No going back now. <a href="https://t.co/1C0VjlauY5">pic.twitter.com/1C0VjlauY5</a> —@JLeiper

That sure does look weird.

Starting to get a sense of how strange it’ll seem for a while driving through here with no bridge overhead, just clear sky. <a href="https://t.co/9PdJ6xQgB0">pic.twitter.com/9PdJ6xQgB0</a> —@JLeiper

Whoa!

Cleaning up.

Clean-up now of that other big chunk of the span, then they’ll take down the stubs and ramps. I’m out of battery, so wish everyone a good night. If you’re near the demolition site: sorry about the noise! <a href="https://t.co/DzNeXiowlZ">pic.twitter.com/DzNeXiowlZ</a> —@JLeiper

And now it's gone, as if it had never been.
