Buffalo Traffic Question

[Ryan]

Hey, to you Western New York drivers out there:

Unfortunately I'm in a situation where I'm landing at BUF at 6:30 on Friday (lousy timing) and I need to get up to Oakville in a hurry for a dinner - minutes will matter as my client does not deal well with waiting. With respect to border delays, am I better hitting the Peace Bridge or heading up to Lewiston?

Thanks,
Ryan

Easy

Right now there is constuction on the LewQ and it's down to 1 lane in either direction - avoid at all costs!!!

Fridays from 5PM on, can be backed up on all 3 bridges Canada-bound, you forgot to mention the Rainbow bridge. Have had best luck in the past with Lewiston but they have construction ongoing now.

You can try this site: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/general/times/menu-e.html if you can get to a PC.

Sorry to say you are f*cked. That is a 90 minute drive on Sunday @ 3:00 am in the summer. Add in picking up your luggage, parking, snow, traffic, customs, cavity search, construction..... you get the idea. If at all possible land @ YYZ or Hamilton. If you can do that you will be there by 10:00 for sure.

good luck.

Time to pony up the change fee and get a new flight.

Thanks all - Ryan

take the rainbow bridge much faster in my opinion, once in hamilton if it works for you get the 407 (depending on what part of oakville you are going to).
