This picture, taken from beside the CP bridge on the Bayview extension, shows the contrasting style of the 80 year old towers and the new replacement towers being constructed across the bottom of Bennington Heights. The midtown power corridor which runs from Leaside Transformer Station (at Millwood and Redway Drive) via Birch Junction (Jct) to the Bridgman Transformer Station (near Castle Loma) was originally built in the 1920s and the first underground cable laid in the 1950s. The midtown area has experienced steady load growth as the result of land use intensification and redevelopment. An underground transmission cable located on the transmission corridor is nearing its end of life and the added growth in the area is putting a strain on this important infrastructure and on the reliable supply of power. With Toronto Hydro release.New towers carry power in midtown corridor
