The International Bridge at Sault Ste. Marie is the only vehicular crossing between Ontario and Michigan within a 300-mile distance. The Bridge connects two cities, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario with Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The International Bridge also plays a vital role in the well-being of both Soo communities. It serves as an essential transportation link to the steel, paper and forest industries, to tourism-reliant business, and to the general public for work, recreation, and shopping purposes. More than 1.9 million vehicles cross the bridge every year.  Over $1 million is spent annually for bridge maintenance, such as sandblasting and painting, to keep the 45 year old bridge safe and structurally sound. The Sault Ste Marie International crossing is unique in that it is jointly operated by the government of Canada and the State of  Michigan.  Because the bridge operation is self-sustaining through toll revenue, it has to be run like a business.  Attend this career showcase for a closer look at this unique operation!
