Historic Significance Rating (HSR)

Ontario has many rigid-frame bridges but most are designed to a standard plan that provides for similar details in the various design aspects of the bridge including things like railings. The railings on this bridge are anything but standard. They are an unusual combination of concrete posts and wire cable panels. The bridge has two plaques, one for each of the former counties this border bridge is positioned between.
