Bridge-it Ferry

Located in Port Robinson, City of Thorold's ferry, “Bridge-it”, is the only ferry service on the Welland Canal. The accessible ferry has shuttled people across the Welland Canal since a Laker collided with and destroyed the bridge to the hamlet in the 1970s.

Operating from May to October each year, the ferry service provides a vital link for a growing number of cyclists and is a charming and memorable piece of Niagara’s cycling experience.

Bridge-it connects the west and east sides of the Welland Canal in Port Robinson and carries thousands of cyclists, pedestrians, and residents safely across the Welland Canal every year. It allows cyclists a shorter route from Thorold to the Niagara River connecting to the Greater Niagara Cycle Route.

The City of Thorold is situated on treaty land. This land is steeped in the rich history of the First Nations such as the Hatiwendaronk (Hat-i-wen-DA-ronk), the Haudenosaunee (Hoe-den-no-SHOW-nee), and the Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-ih-NAH-bey), including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. There are many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people from across Turtle Island that live and work in Niagara today. The City of Thorold stands with all Indigenous people, past and present, in promoting the wise stewardship of the lands on which we live.
