A good alternative to crossing at Niagara Falls because you can avoid the throngs of visitors during the summer tourist season. The bridge is steel and old and there has been extensive work done on it for all of 2019. There are 3 lanes and the center one is a flex lane meaning it can change directions depending if the flow of traffic is more busy southbound or northbound. The customs folks in Buffalo are usually quite nice and can be quite inquisitive about the smallest details, but usually only takes me / us less than 3 minutes to get waved by. On the Canadian Fort Erie side is the same, but they are primarily interested in how long you've been away (ie more than 24 hours) what you bought because there were a lot of same day cross border shoppers, especially when the CDN dollar was high or there is some Black Friday sale. The river below is quite swift and it is often windy. Once you are on the ramp to the bridge on the Buffalo side, you are committed to crossing the border. There is no other opportunity to veer out.

Excellent experience going on a road trip to New York with my sister. It was the first time on the border for me. Jaja make sure you have your passport though to cross into Canada. We wanted to go to Niagra Falls and the GPS apparently guides you to cross the Peace Bridge to go to Canada 🤣 It is so beautiful though, especially at night. Oh and the American side of the falls is so breathtaking and amazing in person. It was a dream of my mom's to visit NY and see Niagra, so it was very special to see the falls on a roadtrip with my lil sis. ❤🛣

The Peace Bridge span the Niagara River connecting the United States to our neighbor to the north, Canada. Since crossing the bridge means that you are entering a different country, you will need to have your passport (or passport card) with you. The lines at customs, especially the return to the U.S. side has been getting longer. Rumor has it, the increased wait time is due to the relocation of CBP agents to the Southern border. As many of stated, at least when you're stuck on the bridge, you get a nice view of the river and Buffalo.

Coming back from Buffalo into Canada. They pulled us over and searched our vehicle. They were so rude about it acting like we were some kind of criminals. They searched our vehicle from top to bottom taking apart our golf bags. Looking through every nook and cranny they didn't find anything. They went back inside and left the sitting on the sidewalk without explanation for 45 minutes before they came out. Handed us our passports back and told us to get on the way. Absolutely ridiculous the way they treated us.

Can't give a great rating here, as our Thanksgiving travel was interrupted by a fiery crash and border closing at Peace Bridge. The worst part was that between emergency radio, the US and Canadian border websites, and Google we could not get a clear picture of which bridges, roads, and checkpoints were closed and which were open, further delaying our plans. In the end, i must say that the border checkpoint was super efficient, even with the family doggo.

Crossed from Canada to the US. Considering we were waiting in a line of buses with 3 before us, our tour group got through within 30-40 minutes. The majority of the wait was waiting in a line at the booth. Once the driver was directed our driver where to go for us to get out and present our passports, we were cleared within 10 minutes. I wouldn't doubt they were moving faster to get us through considering there was a line of tour buses to be cleared.
