Clarence St. Bridge, Vertical-lift bridge in Port Colborne, Canada.
The Clarence Street Bridge spans the Welland Canal with a metal panel rivet-connected Parker through truss design measuring 36.5 meters in length.
Built between 1927 and 1929 during the construction of the fourth Welland Canal, this bridge replaced earlier structures to accommodate increased maritime traffic.
The bridge location decision involved extensive discussions between city officials and residents, with some preferring Fraser Street as an alternative crossing point.
The mechanical system raises the bridge deck to a height of 36.5 meters above water level in 90 seconds to allow vessels passage.
Engineers from New York firm Ash, Howard, Needles, and Tammen designed this structure as one of four remaining vertical-lift road bridges on the Welland Canal.
