Homer Bridge


Homer Bridge, also known as Queenston Street Bridge, is a bascule-type lift bridge that carries traffic on Queenston Road/Niagara Regional Road 81 over the Welland Canal.
The metal rivet Pratt deck truss bridge is designated as Bridge 4 by the St. Lawrence Seaway and is used as frontage road to detour traffic off the QEW in the event the Garden City Skyway is closed to traffic.
There are sets of gates on both sides of the bridge use to stop traffic when the middle lift section is opened for ship traffic to pass.
