On January 3, 1890, an ice sheet carried by the incoming tide destroyed the Lulu Island span, which remained out of service for most of 1890. Shortly after reopening, the span fell into the river. Over the decades, river traffic found the narrow spans difficult to navigate, and the first collision causing structural damage was 1891.

In 1951â52, a new Howe truss floated into place for No. 4, with major repairs to the substructure, and a complete renewal of ties and deck. The following year, No. 5 received a new 130-foot Howe truss, new ties and deck, and solid fill replaced the approach trestles to the southeast. Ultimately, the

In 1901, the province agreed to assume responsibility for the planked bridges. To provide two more years life, the plan was to replace the two wooden swings with steel swing spans, and replace the trestle approaches, but extensive rot in the piers revised the project to a complete rebuild. McLean

During 1909â10, 18 piles were replaced, 1,100 feet of decking was replanked, and the Lulu Island trestle approach repaired. In 1919â20, 100 feet of asphalt were laid as an experimental surface, and the turning gear for the swing spans became electrically powered. Assumedly prior to this time,

By 1928, over 4,400 vessels annually passed through the No. 4 draw, considerably delaying road traffic. Openings increased to about 5,400 by 1936, and over 7,000 by 1954 (images). Increasing vehicle backups, due to openings for river traffic, delayed travel to
