La Salle Causeway, Transport bridge in Kingston, Canada
The La Salle Causeway stretches across the Cataraqui River, connecting downtown Kingston to Pittsburgh Township through a series of interconnected engineered structures.
Completed in 1917, the causeway replaced the original 1829 wooden Penny Bridge, featuring a central Strauss bascule bridge designed by Joseph Strauss of Golden Gate fame.
The structure carries the name of René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, who established Fort Frontenac in 1673 at the western end of the current causeway.
The causeway operates as part of Highway 2, providing a main transportation route for vehicles while maintaining passage for marine traffic through its movable central section.
Three distinct bridges form the causeway: concrete spans at each end constructed in 1962 and 1993, plus the original central bascule mechanism.
