- The Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, commonly called the Whirlpool Bridge and formerly known as the Lower Steel Arch Bridge until 1937, is a spandrel braced, riveted, two-hinged arch bridge. This is an international bridge between Canada and the United States. It connects the commercial downtown districts of Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario. This bridge is located approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) north of the Rainbow Bridge and about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the Falls. This bridge was acquired by the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission in January 1959. The bridge was designed by Leffert L. Buck and constructed between April 9, 1896 and August 27, 1897. It was constructed around the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge so as not to interrupt daily traffic. The bridge has two decks. The upper deck carries the railway traffic while the lower deck is a roadway reserved for passenger vehicles only; commerical vehicles are prohibited. The Whirlpool Bridge is reserved for NEXUS members, a joint program implemented by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP). There is one lane of traffic to the United States and one lane to Canada. The American side connects to New York State Route 104 and New York State Route 182, while the Canadian side connects to Niagara Regional Road 43. A single set of train tracks crosses over the bridge. A VIA Rail station is located on the Canadian side of the bridge. Just to the south is the Michigan Central Railway Bridge, which was used to carry rail traffic. Reportedly, the Bridge Commission is considering closure of the upper deck of the bridge if rail users are not willing to pay for repairs. Currently, only the Maple Leaf uses the bridge; the Canadian National Railway no longer routes freight over the bridge.
- Le Whirlpool Rapids Bridge est un pont situé à côté des chutes Niagara. Il relie Niagara Falls au Canada à Niagara Falls aux États-Unis. Sa construction débuta en 1896 et s'acheva l'année suivante. En 1937, le Niagara Railway Arch Bridge est devenu le pont Whirlpool Rapids. Il est localisé approximativement à 1,5 km au nord du pont Rainbow et à 2 km des chutes. En 1959, la Commission du pont de Niagara Falls acheta le pont Whirlpool Rapids à la Niagara Falls International Bridge Company (côté américain) et à la Lower Niagara Arch Bridge Company (côté canadien) dans le cadre d'une grande restructuration de la propriété et de l'exploitation des ponts de la gorge de la Niagara.
