Blue Water Bridge International Crossing from USA to Canada on a sunny day showing USA and Canadian flags
The Blue Water Bridge is a twin-span international bridge across the St. Clair River that links Port Huron, Michigan, United States, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The Blue Water Bridge connects Highway 402 in Ontario with both Interstate 69 (I-69) and Interstate 94 (I-94) in Michigan. The original span is a cantilever truss bridge with a total length of 6,178 feet (1,883 m) and a main span of 871 feet (265 m). The second, newer span is a continuous bowstring arch bridge with a total length of 6,109 feet (1,862 m) and a main span of 922 feet (281 m). The Blue Water Bridges are jointly owned and maintained by Canada and the United States: Federal Bridge Corporation, a Crown corporation of the Government of Canada, is in charge of the Canadian side,[2] while the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is in charge of the US side.[3] A toll is charged to cross the bridges, which is used to pay for maintenance and operations.
