Blue Water Bridge West Bound Span - Canada to Michigan - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

From Wikipedia:

The Blue Water Bridge is a twin-span bridge that spans the St. Clair River between Port Huron, Michigan and Point Edward, Ontario (near Sarnia, Ontario). The Blue Water Bridge connects with Highway 402 in Ontario and with both Interstate 69 and Interstate 94 in Michigan. The original span is a cantilever truss arch bridge and the second span is a continuous tied arch bridge.

The eastbound second span was waymarked by s5280ft. (visit link)

The first bridge was opened to traffic on October 10, 1938. The lead engineer was Ralph Modjeski. This bridge originally had two lanes for vehicles as well as sidewalks, which were removed in the 1980s to make room for a third lane for automobiles. The third lane for each direction starts from the apex of the bridge in order to accommodate long lineups entering each sides' respective border crossings.

The State of Michigan website has quite an interesting history as well
