    True, but this involves completely closing one side of the bridge. When they have done construction in the past and closed down just one lane going onto the island or there has been an accident, it's usually a minimum of 1hr to get across.

    They say an hour to get across but my experience would put it at at least 2 during rush hour. Even though it's vacation time it's going to suck.

    Maps for the area are not the greatest.

    I think it was 15 that was so bad last year around the shopping centers. You go into town past the Flying J and the road there was under major construction.

    Would be nice to get a bypass around the downtown.

    Go thru Valleyfield to duck the toll bridge.

    Flying J built a new truck stop at Lancaster on the 401 just west of the scales.
