Port Colborne bridges

Port Colborne is the Lake Erie end of the Welland Canal, where ships finish the run down from Lake Ontario. Three movable bridges carry traffic across the canal here: Main Street and Mellanby Avenue near Lock 8, and the Clarence Street lift bridge closer to the lake. When a freighter is passing, the bridge goes up and the only options are to wait or find another crossing. The live status and typical closure time for all three are below.
