The Hialeah-Miami Springs Vertical Lift Bridge is also known as the Miami Canal Bridge and the East 1st Avenue Bridge. It carries East 1st Avenue across the Miami River Canal and connects the cities of Miami Springs and Hialeah.
Initially, it carried Northwest 36th Street over the Miami Canal in Miami-Dade County but was relocated to its current location in 1954. Although no longer operable, it is the oldest example of vertical lift technology extant in the state and the only example of a Parker through truss lift span.
It was moved to its present location by barge.
