If your driving duties has you headed through New York on your way to Canada, be sure to doublecheck your route. Computer issues have caused major delays at one of the bridges for truckers the last several days.
This warning was issued this afternoon:
"The Niagara Falls Bridge Commission advises all Canada-bound commercial carriers to avoid the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge crossing until further notice, due to ongoing processing delays related to a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) systems outage that occurred earlier this week. While CBSA has implemented a processing systems fix, the resulting delays continue, and all adjacent queuing areas within the Western New York region are at or beyond capacity.
"Passenger and pedestrian travelers may continue to utilize regional border crossings as currently available at the Rainbow, Whirlpool (NEXUS-only), and Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge crossings."
This is one of several bridges between the U.S. and Canada in western New York.
