This is a great vantage point as we drive to the Bay. We would see a lot of these two bridges today.
The structure on the left is part of the historic International Railroad Bridge, originally built in 1887 and later modified with a vertical lift span.
The large yellow arch bridge on the right is the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge (road bridge), which opened in 1962.
The bridges cross the St. Marys River and the Soo Locks system, which is a vital shipping channel.
The railway bridge is used by the Canadian National Railway (CN) for cross-border rail traffic.
The road bridge is a major transportation link and the only vehicular crossing between Ontario and Michigan within a 300-mile distance.
