The Blue Water Bridge connect the United States and Canada, with the cities of Port Huron and Sarnia on respective sides of it.
The bridge is the second busiest mode of transportation between the US and Canada behind the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor.
It it jointly owned by Canada and the US.
There are two spans of the bridge.
The first span was completed in 1938 and is called a cantilever truss bridge.
In 1992, the US and Canadian governments decided that the bridge had too much traffic and that a second span was necessary to help decrease the stress of high traffic.
In 1997, the second span of the Blue Water Bridge was opened, and the original span was closed immediately for renovations.
Since both spans have opened, thousands of people have used the bridge as a way to go on vacation and conduct business. You can see in this video how many people use it in a single night.
