See the hour-by-hour breakdownAbout this crossing
The Thousand Islands Bridge crosses the St. Lawrence between Lansdowne, Ontario, and Alexandria Bay, New York, hopping across the islands of the archipelago. It joins Canada's 401 with Interstate 81 toward Syracuse, so it mixes Toronto–East Coast freight with the summer-home, castle and boat-tour tourism of the region. Summers and long weekends set its peaks; the rest of the year the line usually flows.
