- Constructed from 1852-1855 this bridge was originally built for the Great Western Railway of Canada which combined with the Grand Trunk Railway in 1882. Also known as the Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge, it was designed by John Augustus Roebling as a double-deck bridge with four cables for railway and roadway use. The bridge had an 821 ft. span and due to its double-deck design had increased stability for a suspension bridge. However, due to increasing traffic and weight demands it was replaced in 1897 by the Niagara Railroad Arch (also known as the Whirlpool Rapids Br.) which is still in place today. For more information see: Spanning Niagara: The International Bridges 1848-1962 (Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press, 1984).

- Notes:
- Designing Engineer: Hugh E. Young Consulting Engineer: Lewis M. Gram; The former bridge at Jefferson Avenue was a narrow swing bridge that needed to be replaced by around 1910. However, construction did not begin on the new bridge until 1920 and a detour for Jefferson Avenue was needed. The detour was created up stream with an old truss bridge from the Michigan Central Railroad, and was floated into place. Construction then began on a single trunnion, double-leaf bascule bridge that opened in 1922.
