St. Catharines bridges

St. Catharines sits where the Welland Canal meets Lake Ontario, and the canal cuts straight through the city, so a lot of everyday driving here means crossing it. Five of the canal's lift and bascule bridges are in and around town, from Lakeshore Road at Port Weller down to the Highway 20 bridge at Allanburg. Each one stops road traffic when a Seaway ship comes through, and on a busy day the waits add up. Below is the live status of all five, plus how long each one usually stays down.
