#OnThisDay In 1935, The Grand Island Bridge opened. Connecting the Island to Tonawanda with a two-way traffic truss arch bridge, it eliminated the need for taking a ferry. The northbound span to connect Niagara Falls and Grand Island was erected in 1962, coinciding with the growth of the island.
Did you ever get to cross the bridge when it was just one bridge?
