Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Seaway International Bridge Corporation, Ltd. (Canada) : When the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway was undertaken, the Cornwall International Bridge Company Limited, a share capital company, incorporated under the Dominion Companies Act, was operating an international toll bridge for vehicular and pedestrian traffic across the St. Lawrence River between Cornwall, Ontario and Rooseveltown, New York. The Corporation occupied under lease, the north and south channel low-level spans of the then New York Central Railway Bridge. These installations were acquired from the Railway by The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority and the Saint Lawrence Development Corporation [SLSDC] (United States) in connection with navigational requirements.

By way of P.C.1957-1306, the SLSA, in conjunction with the SLSDC, acquired the shares of the Cornwall International Bridge Company, Limited and assumed joint management of the Company. In 1958, the low level bridge was replaced with a new high level south channel span. The railway bridge containing the swing span between Cornwall and Cornwall Island was replaced by a new high level north channel span in 1962. That same year, by way of P.C. 1962-1486, the Seaway International Bridge Company Limited was incorporated as a subsidiary of The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority for the purpose of operating and managing the international bridge system between Cornwall, Ontario and Rooseveltown, New York, on behalf of the owners.
