Ambassador Bridge, Steel suspension bridge between Detroit, United States and Windsor, Canada.
The Ambassador Bridge extends 2300 meters across the Detroit River with two steel towers reaching a height of 118 meters above water level.
Completed in 1929, the bridge held the record for longest suspension span until 1931 when the George Washington Bridge in New York surpassed it.
The Art Deco design elements of the bridge include decorative steel cross patterns on its towers and red illuminated name signs visible each night.
The privately owned bridge handles approximately 25 percent of all trade merchandise between the United States and Canada through its vehicle crossing points.
The structure descends 35 meters below water level, with foundations supporting the main towers that carry daily international commercial traffic.
