Constructed in 1937, with additions in 1959, the bridges span the Canada–US border in the middle of the Thousand Islands region, from which it derives its name. The bridges all carry two lanes of traffic (one in each direction) with pedestrian sidewalks, and is administered by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority, an international agency.

The actual international border bridge crossing is a set of two parallel 90 ft (27 m) long bridges between Wellesley Island in the United States and Hill Island in Canada.
