Note: The Garden City Skyway was constructed from 1960 until it's completion in 1963, when it was officially opened on October 18th.  The Skyway, which is the largest single structure on the Queen Elizabeth Way, is 5.6 kilometres in length and is 37.5 meters tall at it's highest point.  It was called the Homer Skyway during construction - after the Homer Bridge across the Welland Canal that it was replacing - but with the official opening it became the Garden City Skyway - named after St. Catharines, which was known as the Garden City.
