Peace Bridge, International deck arch bridge in Buffalo, United States.
The Peace Bridge stretches 5,800 feet across the Niagara River, connecting Buffalo, New York with Fort Erie, Ontario through five steel arch spans.
The bridge opened in August 1927 after two years of construction, establishing the first vehicular crossing between Lake Erie and Niagara Falls.
Four thousand trucks cross this border point daily, making it a central connection for commerce between Canada and the United States.
The bridge features three traffic lanes with a reversible center lane during peak hours, along with two six-foot-wide pedestrian walkways.
Engineers used 9,000 tons of structural steel and 800 tons of reinforcing steel to construct this bridge over the Niagara River.
