## Description

OpenBridge predicts bridge lifts on the St. Lawrence and the Seaway up to 3 hours in advance — the new GPS trip mode gives you the best departure time.

Ever been stuck at a raised bridge that won't come back down? Stressed about being late because a cargo ship is passing through?

OpenBridge predicts lift bridge openings on the Saint-Lawrence Seaway up to 3 hours in advance, combining official SLSMC announcements, real-time AIS vessel positions, and a continuous learning model calibrated on thousands of observed lifts.

ACTUAL ACCURACY (empirical measurements over 14 days)

Over 95% of Seaway lifts are announced in the app before they happen.
