BUFFALO, N.Y. — The system outage that blocked commercial traffic from entering Canada on Tuesday is continuing to cause significant traffic delays along the I-190 near the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge and Peace Bridge.
As of  Buffalo, the I-190 North and South off-ramps to Niagara St. and the ramp to the Peace Bridge remain closed. Drivers are urged to plan ahead and use alternate routes.
Meanwhile, in Niagara County, NITTEC reports congestion on Military Road from Saunders Settlement to Upper Mountain roads.
The Niagara Falls Bridge Commission is still advising commercial truck drivers to avoid the Lewiston Queenston Bridge.

“The Niagara Falls Bridge Commission (NFBC) 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.”
