• Honeymoon Bridge structural damage at Niagara Falls On January 23, 1938, a sudden windstorm on Lake Erie sent a massive amount of ice over Niagara Falls, causing the river to become jammed with ice. This buildup exerted significant pressure on the Honeymoon Bridge's abutments and hinge supports, leading to severe structural damage. The bridge remained intact for several days, drawing thousands of spectators who awaited its collapse. On January 27, 1938, at 4:20 p.m., the bridge collapsed into the gorge below, forming a twisted steel 'W' on the ice. The wreckage remained for the duration of the winter until the ice began to break up. Salvage operations commenced in February 1938, and by April, all pieces had either been removed or had sunk. source: niagarafrontier.com
