Niagara bridge work complete
QUEENSTON, Ont. – The construction work on the central plaza building at the Queenston-Lewiston International Bridge has finally wrapped up.
This was the second phase of improvements to the Canadian plaza and included the construction of a central building for the Canada Border Services Agency and Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
It also included 10 passenger vehicle primary inspection booths and a separate bus-processing lane.
The improvements will help to reduce traffic congestion, facilitate local border crossings and "improve this important trade link in the Niagara region," said Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.
The first phase included an elevated parking structure, a new toll complex, a primary commercial trucks processing facility, and anew maintenance storage facility.
About 700,000 commercial trucks and over 2.6 million cars travel across the bridge annual.
