New York at the Borders

Jump to Thousand Islands | Niagara Falls

Thousand Island Bridge

This bridge was built in 1938 with Wellsley Island as sort of a connector between the South and North spans. The Southern span was widened in the 1950s for I-81. Between the two bridges is the "skydeck" viewing tower (just north of the customs center, on the Canadian side), it is from that tower that these photos were taken.

• Looking North The "Canadian" Span takes most of this photo. You can also see some of Ont. 401 to the upper right as well.
• Looking South That's the "American" Span
• Another South view
• Looking East Looking down the St. Lawrence
• Looking Southeast More islands and some dots that represent housing in the area
• Looking West Looking upstream towards Kingston, Ont. In the bottom of the picture, the customs checkpoint is hidden behind the trees.
