Original Toronto Star caption: Expressway on stilts. Aerial view of the latest section of the Frederick Gardiner Expressway to open shows how it hurdles buildings and railway tracks on sturdy concrete and steel pillars to speed the flow of traffic in and out of downtown. But rush-hour motorists will seldom see it this clear of vehicles.
