Summary

[edit]
Description

The Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, commonly known as the Rainbow Bridge, is an arch bridge across the Niagara River gorge, and is a world-famous tourist site. It connects the cities of Niagara Falls, New York, United States (to the east), and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (west).

The Rainbow Bridge was built near the site of the earlier Honeymoon Bridge, which collapsed on January 27, 1938, due to an ice jam in the river. A joint Canadian and American commission had been considering a new bridge to replace it, and the collapse added urgency to the project.

The bridge permits no commercial trucks; the nearest border crossing for these is the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.[5]

The toll to cross the bridge for each pedestrian and bicycle is $1.00 US or CAD, and $3.75 US or $5.00 CAD for automobiles as of February 2018. Car tolls are collected when leaving the United States. Pedestrian toll is collected by an automatic turnstile when leaving Canada, payable in U.S. or CAD quarters or $1 CAD 'loonies'.[2] Change machines are available from $1 and $5 US bills and $1 (loonies) and $2 (toonies) Canadian coins.
