Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge

[4] Contractors included Massman Construction Co. of Kansas City, MO and Bethlehem Steel of Bethlehem, PA.[5] Daily operation is carried on by the International Bridge Administration (IBA) under the supervision of the Sault Ste.

The Bridge allows bicycles to cross, but the lack of dedicated bike lanes requires cyclists to take proper precautions to ensure visibility.

[6] The International Bridge Bus was operated by the CLM Community Action Agency (CLMCAA) of Sault Ste Marie Michigan.

Bridge bus border crossings by CLMCAA ceased in March 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 border restrictions between Canada and the U.S.[7] Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the bridge bus crossed hourly from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on weekdays serving both downtown areas and Lake Superior State University[8] on the Michigan side and the Station Mall on the Ontario side.

[9] A tourist information radio station, CIRS, broadcast at 530 AM from the Ontario side of the bridge from 1986 to 2010.

[1] Beginning in 1987, an annual International Bridge Walk has been held on the last Saturday in June, starting on the Michigan side, with participants finishing in Ontario.

On June 6, 2005, the Ontario government announced a construction project to build a dedicated truck bypass route to connect the bridge to Highway 17 in the north end of the city.

[11] Beginning in May 2014, construction work began to completely rebuild the toll plaza/border crossing on the Michigan side of the bridge with an entirely new facility.

Ferry service ended in 1962 when the International Bridge spanning the river was completed.
