Peace Bridge Authority Announces Lane Closure Beginning November 15, 2016 Through May 15, 2017
The Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority (PBA) announced that the Peace Bridge will be reduced to two lanes between November 15, 2016 and May 15, 2017, in order to accommodate construction related to the ongoing $100 million Peace Bridge rehabilitation. Â In addition, the Authority has advised U.S. and Canadian government officials that any traffic impacts can be mitigated by ensuring proper inspection lane availability and Customs staffing levels during the lane closure period.
A series of traffic management improvements have been completed by the PBA in recent years to better accommodate trade, travel, tourism and the upcoming bridge re-decking work.  Several examples include the recently completed widening of the Peace Bridge’s U.S. approach that allows an increased number of trucks to be queued off the bridge.  An eighth commercial inspection booth is also slated for installation by December 2016 to increase throughout capacity for trucks within the U.S. plaza.  On the Canadian side, a partial fourth lane has been added to provide Canada-bound trucks and NEXUS users easier access off of the bridge.
The $100 million rehabilitation project is scheduled to be completed in spring 2019. During the fall/winter of 2017 and 2018, the cycle of a single lane closure will be repeated. Â All three lanes of the Peace Bridge will be open throughout the traditionally busy summer seasons.
