    Hot damn… I wonder what happened. Well at least there are multiple bridges crossing in that area so it won’t be the worst inconvenience.

      Ron Rienas, GM of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, told ABC News all four Canada-U.S. bridges over the Niagara River have been closed out of an abundance of caution while the Rainbow Bridge investigation continues.

        Ok that sucks, but following the preliminary investigation if there are no significant findings, Lewiston, Whirlpool and Peace Bridge should open up not after long.

      Except it sounds like they closed them all due to this. Tons of families probably not going to get home for Thanksgiving, sucks.

        We went that way during a trip to Niagara Falls and it was slow as fuck. Like you’ll wait in line for 45 minutes or longer. And then you have to be told to turn around because of this. People are going to be super pissed off.

        Yeah that really is annoying… the quickest options by car are either park and fly, take a vehicle ferry from a port somewhere, drive to Windsor then all the way through Ohio, or head to the Gananoque/Thousand Islands Bridge, altogether up to a half day delay for anyone.
