St. Andrews Lock and Dam is comprised of five major components: a lock, a dam, a two lane traffic bridge along the top of the dam, a fish ladder and 8.9 hectares (22 acres) of park land. The dam is 218.8 m (717.85 ft.) in length, with an additional bay over the navigation lock. The old bascule lift span was replaced in 1993 with a new through truss.
