Blue Water Bridge

The Blue Water Bridge spans the St. Clair River with two parallel structures connecting Port Huron, Michigan to Point Edward, Ontario across 1900 meters.

The construction of the second span in 1997 expanded the original 1938 structure to accommodate increased traffic between the United States and Canada.

The bridge functions as a symbol of international cooperation, facilitating trade and travel between the United States and Canada through the Great Lakes region.

Travelers can cross the border using either Interstate 69 or Interstate 94 on the American side, connecting to Highway 402 in Ontario.

The structure combines cantilever and continuous bowstring arch designs, with the main span extending 281 meters over the St. Clair River.
