Amsterdam Bridge is a bridge on the waterfront in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The steel structure is a cable footbridge that crosses over the Simcoe Street Slip from York Quay to Rees Street Slip.
Below the bridge is a docking facility for boats.
The bridge closed in early 2021 due to safety concerns. The bridge was renovated and reopened in late May 2026. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/05/31/toronto-reopens-harbourfront-bridge-shuttered-over-safety-concerns-5-years-ago/
