QEW to Duty Free Border Crossing

The Queen Elizabeth Way Approach

This view captures the multi-lane QEW as it descends toward the Peace Bridge plaza in Fort Erie, Ontario. The broad carriageways, divided by a wide grassy median, carry the constant procession of passenger vehicles and freight that defines this corridor between Canada and the United States.

A Gateway to Canada Duty Free

Just ahead lies the Canada Duty Free store and the bridge approach, the first Canadian landmark travellers meet after leaving Buffalo. The camera's elevated angle reveals how traffic funnels from the open highway toward the crossing, offering a clear sense of how busy this international gateway can become.

The Peace Bridge Border Crossing

The Peace Bridge spans the Niagara River, linking Fort Erie with Buffalo, New York. As one of the principal commercial crossings on the Canada–US frontier, it handles a remarkable volume of trucks, commuters and visitors every single day.

A Window on Cross-Border Life

From this vantage point you can follow the rhythm of the border — the merging lanes, the guardrails and the orange-and-white barrels that channel vehicles toward inspection. It is a living portrait of one of North America's great trade and travel arteries.
