Homer Bridge, Vertical lift bridge on Welland Canal, Ontario, Canada.
The Homer Bridge stretches across the Welland Canal, connecting Queenston Road with Niagara Regional Road 81 through a deck truss bascule mechanism.
The bridge, constructed in 1958, represents a vital infrastructure development in the Welland Canal system that links Lake Ontario with Lake Erie.
The bridge functions as an observation point where people gather to watch large vessels pass through the canal's navigation system.
During closures of the Garden City Skyway, vehicles are directed to the Homer Bridge, designated as Bridge 4, for alternative canal crossing.
The bridge's engineering design by Waddell & Harrington incorporates movable sections that lift vertically to allow passage of maritime traffic.
