History & Context

History The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge is an international bridge that spans the Niagara River between Lewiston, New York in the United States and Queenston, Ontario in Canada. Here is a brief history of the bridge: The bridge was designed by Swiss engineer Othmar Ammann, who is also known for designing the George Washington Bridge in New York City. Construction on the bridge began in May 1960 and was completed in November 1962, at a cost of $17 million. The bridge was officially opened on November 1, 1962, by Queen Elizabeth II and President John F. Kennedy, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the Canadian side. The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge is a suspension bridge that is 1,600 feet (490 meters) long and 190 feet (58 meters) above the Niagara River at its highest point. The bridge has four traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway, and it is one of the busiest border crossings between the United States and Canada. The bridge was built to replace the original Lewiston-Queenston Bridge, which was a cantilever bridge that was built in 1901 and demolished in 1962.
