The Peace Bridge (42°54′25″N, 78°54′20″W) is an arch bridge that consists of five arched spans over the Niagara River and a Parker through-truss which spans the Black Rock Canal on the American side of the river. The total length of this bridge is 5,800 feet (1,770 m). The material used in the construction included 3,500 feet (1,067 m) of steel work, 9,000 tons of structural steel and 800 tons of reinforcing steel in the concrete abutments. The Peace Bridge was named to commemorate 100 years of peace between the United States and Canada.
It was constructed as a highway bridge to address the needs of pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic which could not be accommodated by the International Railway Bridge that had been built in 1873.
The Peace Bridge is an international bridge between Canada and the United States located at the north end of Lake Erie at the head of the Niagara River about 20 km (13 mi.) above Niagara Falls. It connects the City of Buffalo, New York and the Town of Fort Erie, Ontario. It is operated by the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority.
