It was ok but misleading on where to visit it and how not to have to cross it into Canada without going through customs because there is not a parking area that I could find

This is a very beautiful structure, but it was horribly congested when we crossed into the United States deom Canada on Sunday, February 17th. The US side was terribly disorganized; two lanes were suddenly closed down and individuals in the line already had to fight traffic to then get into open lanes. We waited over two hours that evening. Meanwhile,... More

even though I have not been across the bridge I see it often. The lights are a beautiful feature that helps improve the waterway and Buffalo.

They should stop people using the Duty free as a shortcut when there is a queue for the bridge, Better organisation would be appreciated

Gets us where we want to go south to north- not quite as easy coming back at times. Sometimes there is a time of backup- but it is worth the wait- try to go when traffic is lightest.

You drive over it to get to Canada or back from Canada to New York. Check traffic first, it may pay you to take a different route. Smile at the customs agents and don't say anything stupid. You will need suitable identification.

We were told that this would be the best bridge to use to return to the states. We didn't take in the duty free shopping but it sounds good from the other reviews! We had a very short wait at the border and the agent was friendly. The trip across the bridge had little traffic. We were going to the... More

When traveling to the USA without a Nexus card, this is the fastest bridge to take. There is a bottle neck on the US side, but your wait time to get through customs is much faster. Stop at the Peace Bridge Duty Free Shop in Canada before crossing the border. It is a large, clean establishment and pleasant shopping.

This bridge very seldom has the backups that you find at the Queenston or Rainbow bridges. The duty free store is very nice and I have always found the border guards on both sides to be pleasant and efficient even extending to offering directions when asked. This is the bridge to use.
