1000 Islands bridge

The Thousand Islands Bridge is a bridge over the Saint Lawrence River connecting northwestern New York in the United States with southeastern Ontario in Canada. Constructed in 1937, with additions in 1959, the bridge spans the international boundary between the United States and Canada on the Saint Lawrence River in the middle of the Thousand Islands region, from which it derives its name. The bridge is administered by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority, an international agency.

The bridge is actually not a single bridge but rather a series of bridges that span parts of the St. Lawrence River, ultimately connecting both banks. The southern end of the bridge connects with Interstate 81 and the northern end of the bridge connects to Ontario Highway 401. The actual international border bridge crossing is between Wellesley Island in the United States and Hill Island in Canada.
