About: Garden City Skyway

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Garden City Skyway is a major high-level bridge located in St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, that allows the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) to cross the Welland Canal without the interruption of a lift bridge. Six lanes of traffic are carried across the bridge, which is 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) in length and 40 metres (130 ft) at its tallest point. It is the tallest and largest single structure along the entire QEW; the Burlington Bay James N. Allan Skyway, which is also part of the QEW, is actually two separate and smaller four-lane bridges. Among all the bridges spanning the present Welland Canal, the Skyway is numbered Bridge 4A (the Homer Lift Bridge is Bridge 4).

  • The Garden City Skyway is a major high-level bridge located in St. Catharines and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, that allows the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) to cross the Welland Canal without the interruption of a lift bridge. Six lanes of traffic are carried across the bridge, which is 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) in length and 40 metres (130 ft) at its tallest point. It is the tallest and largest single structure along the entire QEW; the Burlington Bay James N. Allan Skyway, which is also part of the QEW, is actually two separate and smaller four-lane bridges. Among all the bridges spanning the present Welland Canal, the Skyway is numbered Bridge 4A (the Homer Lift Bridge is Bridge 4). When the Garden City Skyway be closed due to a traffic accident or weather conditions, traffic is diverted along frontage roads (Dieppe Road, Dunkirk Road, Glendale Avenue, Queenston Road, Taylor Road and York Road) to cross the canal at the Homer Lift Bridge, re-connecting to the QEW on the opposite side.

  • 花園城市高架橋（英語：Garden City Skyway）是加拿大安大略省尼亞加拉區一座橋樑，跨越威蘭運河連接聖凱瑟琳斯和濱湖尼亞加拉。大橋載有伊利沙伯皇后道（QEW）的六條行車線，來回方向各三線行車。大橋由48座主樑連貫而成，全長2.2公里（1.4英里），離威蘭運河水平面約40米高。在各條跨越威蘭運河的橋樑當中，花園城市高架橋編號為4A（4號橋為荷默開啓橋）。 此橋於1960年1月動工，橫跨威蘭運河的主橋跨段則於同年7月安裝，橋樑全線於1963年10月18日通車。大橋在施工期間以鄰近的荷默開啓橋為名，稱為荷默高架橋（Homer Skyway）；通車後大橋則改以聖凱瑟琳斯市的暱稱“花園城市”為名。大橋通車初期曾收取過路費，到1973年則取消收費。安大略省政府於2000年代初斥資1780萬元，分三階段復修花園城市高架橋的橋面和橋墩；工程完成後橋面壽命延長至大概2025年，橋墩壽命則延至2025年之後。 大橋通車時，兩岸的QEW來回方向各得兩線行車，而大橋各方向三條行車線中的慢線則用作貨車爬坡車道。該段QEW後於2010年代擴濶至來回各三線行車，令大橋的慢線失去其原有的爬坡車道功能，而日增的車流令大橋極有可能成為該段QEW的瓶頸。另一方面，大橋來回方向的外側路肩各只得約1米濶，遠較現有公路設計標準為窄。綜合各種因素，省府於2011年委託顧問公司就QEW跨越威蘭運河路段的長遠發展策略展開環境評估，為該走廊的發展提供選項。環評過程首輪公眾諮詢於2011年春季進行，顧問公司其後權衡各選項，預料於2013年末公佈首選方案後再進行第二輪公眾諮詢。 (zh)
