Thousand Islands Bridge, International suspension bridge in Wellesley Island, United States and Ontario, Canada

The Thousand Islands Bridge spans 13.6 kilometers across the Saint Lawrence River, connecting Collins Landing in New York to Ivy Lea in Ontario.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King inaugurated the bridge system on August 18, 1938, following fifteen months of construction.

The bridge functions as a vital connection point between two nations, processing over 1.5 million travelers annually through its border control facilities.

The bridge maintains 14 processing lanes and operates around the clock, with toll rates varying from 3.75 to 23.50 USD based on vehicle type.

The structure comprises five separate bridges, including a 240-meter suspension span over the American channel and a series of shorter spans across Canadian waters.
