Glendale Ave Bridge

The Glendale Avenue bridge carries traffic over the Welland Canal in St. Catharines. It's Bridge 5, a vertical-lift bridge, so when a Seaway ship comes through the whole deck rises straight up and cars wait on both sides until it drops back down. Most lifts are quick, but they're easy to get caught by if you haven't checked first.
