CBSA Outage Resolved—Delays Still Impacting Trade

Canadian officials have resolved a CBSA system outage that disrupted commercial traffic at U.S.–Canada border crossings. However, significant delays persist due to backlog and traffic congestion.

What You Need to Know:

• The outage began after routine maintenance Sunday and was caused by a data entry error.
• Manual inspections were used during the outage, slowing processing.
• Peace Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston Bridge remain heavily impacted.
• Buffalo Police and Peace Bridge Authority are staging trucks to manage flow.
• Arterial roads in Buffalo and Niagara County are congested, affecting access.

Drivers should expect extended wait times and plan their routes and hours-of-service accordingly.
