Highway 58 was a north-south highway between St. Catharines and Port Colborne. Just south of this area the highway would have crossed the Welland Canal at Bridge 9.
In the late 1960s the Thorold Tunnel was built which re-routed Highway 58. Bridge 9 was demolished and this bridge downgraded from highway status around 1969.
