Description
The Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge is a large steel structure that spans across the Saint Lawrence River between New York and Ontario. It was designed to carry vehicle traffic in both directions across the river.

The bridge serves as the everyday connection linking two communities where families and friends live on opposite sides of the river. For locals, it represents the main gateway they use to cross between their countries.
Practical
You can cross on foot or by vehicle, and the bridge accommodates cars and trucks with weight restrictions. Both sides connect to nearby roads that lead directly into the surrounding towns.
