THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE

THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE
The international bridge connects the UNITED STATES to CANADA. Both the United States and Canada have cities that have the same name. This is called SAULTE STE MARIE. I-75 ends when you cross over the bridge, then it becomes highway 17.
The building of the bridge began in 1960 and was finished in 1962.
The bridge is made of steel construction. There are 2 expansion bridges on the American side and one expansion bridge on the Canadian side.
The bridge goes over the SOO LOCKS, and you can see them when you travel over the bridge.
Since the semis are too heavy for the International Bridge they had to build a new bridge. They built this bridge to handle truck traffic. Cyclists can also go over this bridge although there is no specific lane for that kind of traffic. So they have to be extra careful. The name of this bridge is (CARMAN’S WAY). And this bridge opened 2006.
There is a Web camera to watch over the traffic to see if any complications arise.
