About

About this crossing

The Rainbow Bridge is the crossing with the view: it links the two Niagara Falls — Ontario and New York — steps from the falls, with the Horseshoe panorama right off the deck. It is a passenger and pedestrian bridge, closed to trucks and ruled by tourism: summers, holidays and the festival-of-lights season stretch the line, while weekday mornings tend to flow. For cargo or NEXUS-only service, the neighboring Whirlpool and Queenston–Lewiston bridges complete the system.
