The original Blue Water Bridge was built in 1938 and is a highly visible historic landmark that carries I-94 across the St. Clair River to Canada. A comprehensive public participation program considered various alternatives and recommended a continuous tied arch design. The selection complemented the original bridge without compromising its historical integrity. | |
