Power steel arch bridge-Niagara Falls Ont.

Picture, 1928

Collapse of Duplessis Bridge recalls the twisted mass of girders which was once the Niagara Falls View bridge. Huge piles of ice jammed against abutments of the doomed structure and 4;500 tons of scrap steel fell into gorge. It was 40 years old

Picture, 1937

New Niagara span is brilliant engineering feat; Sparkling in silver aluminum as painters put on the finishing touches; the Rainbow bridge; new Honeymoon Bridge over the Niagara river; nears completion.

Picture, 1941

Swiftly taking shape is the new Rainbow bridge across the Niagara Falls gorge; replacing the Honeymoon bridge wrecked three years ago by an ice jam. The first section of arch steel is now in place. And the structure has been dedicated by Hon. T. B. McQuest

Picture, 1941

To-day a 4,500 tons of scrap steel on the ice of Niagara Gorge; Niagara's ice jam pushed Falls View bridge from its foundations; then held firm while it came down in a heap. The upper gorge holds this wreckage of a 40-year-old bridge which engineers say might have lasted another 35 years.

Picture, 1938

The rainbow bridge at Niagara Falls was formally opened during the week-end. A rainbow made its appearance shortly afterward. Hoisting the Canadian flag is Hon. T. B. McQuesten; and on his LEFT are Dr. Norman V. Leslie of Hamilton and C. Elliston Kauymeyer; bridge manager

Picture, 1941

This barrier has kept traffic from Falls View bridge since early yesterday when border officials heard girders snap the first warning of danger. The centre floor sag appears noticeable even from this distance. A thousand feet away; American guards also keep watch.

The tremendous pressure of ice floes buckled the huge bridge girders shown in the circle. Battering against abutments; they twisted the entire structure out of alignment.

Picture, 1938

Watchers on the Canadian side of the river saw the sag in the bridge floor when they looked along this up-river side. The rail split to a 6-inch crack in the centre.

Picture, 1933

Workmen narrowly escaped these tons of steel; The pressure of ice heaved the bridge at its abutments on the United States side of the river.
