"The Cayuga Bridge Company was incorporated in 1836 and the bridge was completed soon afterward. A bridge was also built at Seneca. The Cayuga company was a joint stock operation, financed by shareholders, who profited from the tolls which were collected. The government set limits on the tolls: total annual amount collected could not be more than 20 per cent of the total cost of the bridge."
In 2011, as the plans for a new bridge to replace the old in Cayuga are revised and revealed, we read with interest the chapter on the history of roads and bridges in Haldimand County.
