Perley Bridge, Steel bridge across Ottawa River between Hawkesbury and Grenville, Canada

The Perley Bridge extended 2,284 feet across the Ottawa River, incorporating 34 spans including deck trusses and a navigation channel section.

Construction of the bridge began in 1930 after two decades of planning, with completion in 1931 at a cost of 500,000 dollars.

The bridge connected English-speaking Ontario communities with French-speaking Quebec populations, facilitating cross-cultural exchanges between provinces.

The structure provided two traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway, serving as a vital transportation link between Ontario and Quebec until 1998.

Engineers studied the demolished bridge sections to examine corrosion patterns in the epoxy-coated rebar used in the deck construction.
