Fort Frances – International Falls International Bridge

The bridge features both road and rail traffic on the same level, with trains and trucks utilizing the central section of the 274-meter span.

Constructed in 1912 by a paper company, this steel structure has served as a vital connection point between Canada and the United States for over a century.

The structure represents a physical link between two border communities, facilitating daily interactions between residents of Ontario and Minnesota across the Rainy River.

Vehicle tolls are collected on the Minnesota side, with current rates at 9 USD for cars, while pedestrians and southbound traffic cross without charge.

The bridge combines railway tracks and vehicle lanes without grade separation, requiring careful traffic management for trains, trucks, and passenger vehicles.
