Driving from US to Niagara or Toronto? Major Bridge Construction!
 
I noticed several posts on driving from the US to Canada at Niagara Falls... Please be warned that there is major bridge construction on the Northbound US I-190 at the Grand Island Bridges... Your best alternative is to Border cross at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo to avoid long delays... then take the QEW highway to Niagara and Toronto...

Thanks Gary, Good information to know. The QEW is clear sailing except for some construction through St Catherines. But I think that is mostly done.

The Final paving of the bridge on I-190 will be this weekend September 17 -20....The NORTHBOUND BRIDGE at Grand Island will be CLOSED causing delays of 1 to 3 hours... If you are heading to NIAGARA FALLS or TORONTO... take the Peace Bridge at Buffalo and use the QEW to Niagara... good luck!

Is this going to make the Peace Bridge more crowded this weekend? :(

I think we'll be going over it Friday around 9:30-10am though, and coming back Sat night.

No problem on Peace Bridge this morning into Canada, in face it was the shortest wait ever (no wait at all!).
