Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / August 2006Ontario QEW to NY I-90 Eastbound
Traveling eastbound from MI to NY state. Have always taken QEW to 405 to I-190 to I-290 to I-90 (NY Thruway). Someone mentioned staying on QEW and crossing in Buffalo on the Peace Bridge as an alternative. Any opinions? Will be crossing into US about 10AM on a Friday or Saturday. Thanks for any tips.  SignaturePlease send email to: nwhiii at yahoo dot com I always cross at Lewiston, I find it quicker to go through the border/customs/inspection etc. that way. Also, you're right on the highway after you cross. I can't remember if you are in Buffalo, its been a while since I crossed there and when I did I got lost. > Traveling eastbound from MI to NY state. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks for any tips. > I always cross at Lewiston, I find it quicker to go through the > border/customs/inspection etc. that way.

If you cross at the Queenston - Lewiston bridge you are in .... Lewiston, a few miles north of Niagara Falls and about 15 miles north of Buffalo. >> I always cross at Lewiston, I find it quicker to go through the >> border/customs/inspection etc. that way.

What I wasn't sure of is when you cross at Buffalo, whether you are right on i-90 or not. > >> I always cross at Lewiston, I find it quicker to go through the > >> border/customs/inspection etc. that way.

No. You get on 190 there and skirt around Buffalo to get on 90. I generally find it quicker to cross at Buffalo. Besides, it saves a bit on tolls. >>>> I always cross at Lewiston, I find it quicker to go through the >>>> border/customs/inspection etc. that way.

I was through customs in a matter of minutes. About 20 minutes later when I passed under the Peace Bridge on I-190, I saw that U.S.-bound traffic was backed up across the border. Granted, this was during the evening rush, around 6 p.m. YMMV, especially earlier in the day.
