- Notes:
- This bridge also known as the Falls View or Upper Steel Arch Bridge, was built from 1895 to 1898 to replace the Falls View Suspension Bridge (a.k.a. Niagara-Clifton Suspension Bridge) due to an increase in railway traffic. It was designed by Leffert L. Buck and it was built around the existing suspension bridge (which was later moved to the Queenston-Lewiston site). It was destroyed in 1938 when an ice jam on the river damaged the hinges of the arch, causing the bridge to collapse. For more information see: Spanning Niagara: The International Bridges 1848-1962 (Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press, 1984).

- Original notes on slide: Turning the northeast corner to close cast end of cofferdam. This photograph shows the pockets being filled with material dredged from the harbor bottom. The water at this point is 15 feet deep. The corner pocket holds 300 cubic yards of saturated material. The great strength and watertight qualities of the interlocked joints of the Lackawanna Steel Sheet Piling are very apparent. The bowing of the piles under the existing pressures is limited by the clearance left in the interlock to overcome friction in driving.
