Overview

• Peace Bridge and Lewiston–QuQueenston Bridge were closed to commercial traffic due to a nationwide CBSA cargo-system outage, according to bridge officials.
• Trucks queued for hours with backups stretching over the bridges onto I-90 and affecting I-190, slowing the morning commute across the Buffalo area.
• By about 2 p.m., CBSA reported a partial fix that allowed most shipment processing to move forward, with no timeline given for full restoration.
• CBSA staffed primary inspection lanes and coordinated traffic control with the Peace Bridge Authority and Niagara Falls Bridge Commission, and I-190 backups were cleared as a safety measure.
• Some carriers canceled cross-border runs and shippers warned of losses in the thousands to tens of thousands of dollars as the cause of the outage remained unspecified.
