A little closer view of both the International Bridges. As you can see, the railroad bridge is up. Completed in stages from 1887, it's an impressive engineering feat, a blend of truss and movable bridge designs, allowing ships to pass while carrying vital rail traffic between the Great Lakes region and beyond.
Behind it is the double bridge of the International Bridge on the USA side. The Sault Ste. Marie International toll Bridge spans 2.8 miles (4.5km) crossing over the St. Mary River connecting Canada to the United States, between Sault Ste Marie twin cities in Ontario and Michigan. This bridge was first open is 1962 and sees an average of 7,000-10,000 vehicles crossing this border bridge daily.
