International Bridge From Soo Locks Sault Ste Marie Ontario

Standing at the Soo Locks in the city of Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario, Canada, the view of the International Bridge and the railway bridge crossing the St. Mary's River is outstanding.

Small puffs of clouds linger above the International Bridge and the railway bridge which cross over the St. Mary's River in Ontario, Canada, creating a beautiful view from the Soo Locks. The International Bridge spans across the river and joins the USA making it easy for travelers to get from one place to the other. The railway bridge below the International Bridge provides faster transportation for a variety of goods to be delivered from the USA to Canada and vice versa.

The International Bridge was officially open in 1962 with construction beginning in 1960 and is a steel truss arch bridge with a suspended deck. A double arch span is prominent on the US side with a single arch span on the Canadian side. The double arch on the US side of the St. Mary's River crosses the 4 US Soo Locks with the single arch spanning the Canadian lock.
